[Husker] NFL Combine (was Witt)

[Mike Jaixen]

I'm not surprised that Murtha has shown well at the combine.  Those same measurables were touted when he first signed with Nebraska.  He's got the size, speed, and raw athletic ability.  But throughout his career, when it gets to be game time, it just didn't seem to translate.  Whether it's instincts, or tenaciousness, or dedication, it just seems that he regularly gets owned on the line.

Lucky needed a good combine to reset expectations.  Nate Swift, on the other hand, has quite the body of work at Nebraska on his resume.  That being said, there are quite a few receivers in this year's class, so he was going to struggle to get attention.

Off topic, I have been perusing the combine results. Former NU players
results are mixed. Murtha has shown great quickness. But Lucky ran a 4.59
and Nate Swift ran a 4.64. They will find it hard to get drafted with those
combine numbers. They also had Cody Glenn listed at RB and not LB.
