A smart and mature player you want to cheer for, but lacks seasoning, coaching, and competition. Nzeocha has the physical skills to compete, but faces a huge jump to the NFL. A small school kid who only recently started playing football, will have to make the team as a special teamer and is a longshot at anything more. 7^th round picks don’t have big expectations anyway, but he still takes a hit for value and risk considering many safer LBs were available at the time of drafting.

Grade: D
