With the NFL draft just around the corner, we’re focusing on two offensive players from the 2021 Nebraska football team that are set to make the jump to the professional level.
Of the NFL draft prospects, Cam Jurgens and Samori Toure could be the duo that is drafted higher than expected. At least that is how Pro Football Focus sees it just over a week from the draft. Jurgens ranks as the No. 93 player on their board but he could creep up to the top of day two. Toure wasn’t ranked but keep an eye out for him on day three.
Here is how PFF sees it:
Cam Jurgens, Center
What PFF Says…
Jurgens is another scout’s favorite. One source projected him for the second round.
He didn’t allow a sack in 2021 and tested extremely well, running a 4.92-second 40-yard dash (96th percentile) with a 1.71-second 10-yard split (92nd), 34-inch vertical leap (6th), 9-foot, 11-inch broad jump (100th), 4.49-second short shuttle (84th) and 7.19-second 3-cone drill (99th) at 6-foot-3, 304 pounds.
Samori Toure, Wide Receiver
What PFF Says…
Another scout’s favorite, Toure is a Day 3 pick who could go as high as the fourth round, per a source. He has good size at 6-foot-1, 191 pounds and hit the necessary marks in his testing with a 4.48-second 40-yard dash (61st percentile) and 6.77-second three-cone drill (84th).
Toure was used in the slot and dropped just two passes on 75 targets in 2021. He caught 46 passes for 896 yards with five touchdowns, including 13 catches for 552 yards and four scores on deep balls. He earned a 99.6 deep ball grade last season.
