What are the chances that a 5 star prospect at ANY position, (let alone WR or CB) that some had rated as the top WR in the 2016 class was going to:
1) arrive in the Summer (not an early enrollee) and grasp the playbook enough to start the 1st game of the season when there were redshirt juniors (and others with multiple years of experience in the program) that had been given tons of reps with the 1's in multiple camps at the WR position?
2)become a go-to guy as a tru frosh against some of the best defenses we face
3)Be a very hard worker
4)Be humble
5)Be a good blocker as a tru frosh
?????
6)Have that rare combination of soft but very strong hands
There aren't many like N'Keal
That said, for the first time last night I watched him stand there and do absolutely NOTHING.on a play very similar to his 31 yard TD run where someone (I think Ballage) made a lot out of nothing. Can't recall the period of the game, the play or much but I watched it a couple times at 1AM. It could be argued that the action was on the opposite side of the field and that just staying on his side would occupy at least 1 defender and create space....but at some point he needed to give some effort and never did.
Nobody ever has a perfect game
As I said, this is the first time I have seen this all season. He is a great player and a lead-by-example teammate that may become a vocal leader as well
