The guy is just getting heated up. Wait till the season starts! Beast mode for this guy for sure!

Mike Schmidt

Only if he stays healthy. Probably by limiting runs out of the back field.

Matt Seiler

This should be 100% He's the best player on the entire team IMO. Manning could be great though!

Jeff Forrester

Familiarity with the system and QB's.

Rich Leffler

I believe that Wandale will receive the most passes this year with Manning catching the second most passes from Martinez,but there will be plenty of other receivers with catches(tight-ends)

Paul F Edwards

I think overall our receiving will be a TON better, even without Speilman, who quit his team.

Unproven? Absolutely! But we need a big wideout who can go up and after all those errant overthrows. If he only comes down with a quarter of them it should be good for another sustained drive a game.

Ron Joseph

I'm hoping Omar as we already know what Wan'Dale can and will do. If Omar comes in and dominates then our O will be just fine

Robert Enyeart

If we're talking about running the slot receiver, it has to be a bigger, tougher guy, even if he is slower. It's no good to have a star receiver out half a season or more. Right tool for the right job

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
