As a converted wide receiver with 4.46 speed in the 40-yard dash, Texas A&M outside linebacker Nate Askew is an intriguing draft prospect.

 

The 6-foot-4, 241-pounder has a 38-inch vertical leap, a 10-6 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 18 times.

He has drawn steady interest from NFL teams, visiting the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a league source, and working out privately for the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and the Houston Texans.

 

Askew returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown last season agaisnt Sam Houston State.

He played in every game last season after switching from offense and had 33 tackles, including 22 solo tackles, with two interceptions.

 

He had a career-high seven tackles against Missouri with four solo tackles and a half-sack.

As a junior, he caught three passes for 10 yards with six receptions for 85 yards and a touchdown as a sophomore. He also returned five kickoffs for 96 yards.

 

In high school, he was an all-state wide receiver as a senior who caught 40 passes for 919 yards and seven touchdowns. He also ran back two punts for touchdowns. Aa s junior, he caught 51 passes for 856 yards and eight touchdowns.

Askew chose Texas A&M over Arkansas, Florida State, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech

    • I never thought a second look was even necessary. I was begging the football gods not to have us trade up to the 1st pick. And damn once we did it was a thoroughbred vs a little pony.    If you have a perceived generational player in the pool and you have the 1st pick, you just don’t trade it. In the first place. But all this Bryce drama - which (understandably) takes over almost any thread, just like this one - would never have happened if the team was not sold to Tepper. 
    • I agree. I understand why he did though. And surely he had his parents in his ear who have always gone out of their way to make sure he always had the best and the least amount of adversity around him to that point in his life advising him to do so. Where I take the most issue with it is when people who just want to be sycophants start listing off other QB's who didn't throw at the combine and you don't even make it through half the names before your eyes roll right into the back of your head realizing every single of those QB's who didn't throw already clearly showcased the necessary prerequisite physical talents needed for the position.
