@NiekoNieves7
When Nieko plays WR, he is a big time speed guy who gets good separation, also very shifty. One of the best athletes you will find at love making plays after the catch. When he lines up on defense at CB, he loves to play man-to-man and his speed and quickness make him a top lock down corner in the area. Also is tough and physical player that is always looking for a challenge.

Nieko – I feel that I played very good this season. I feel that I could have been used more on offense. More targets. That is just the competitive nature in me.

It was a great experience for me, talking to the different coaches and players from all over. Going head to head against some good talent helped me with my confidence heading into the season.
