His catch radius is tremendous, especially against air, but he doesn\u2019t do enough with his frame to keep smaller cornerbacks from challenging the catch point. Overall, Neyor is arguably the most physically gifted athlete in the 2025 NFL Draft class, but aggressive defenders can negate his physical advantages and the inconsistencies in his game make him a better talent than a football player. He has upside as a receiver and will help his chances if he can prove himself as a gunner on special teams.&#8221; \u2014 Dane Brugler.<\/p>\n<p>Neyor had a promising season at Wyoming in 2021, with 878 yards and 12 touchdowns. In 2023, he transferred to Texas, but got injured and played only a game. Coming back last year for Nebraska, he had 34 catches for 455 yards and five touchdowns. He&#8217;s relatively old for NFL Draft standards at 25, but his range and athleticism make him an intriguing prospect. At the 49ers rookie minicamp back in May, those attributes were obvious on the field.<\/p>\n<p>During OTAs and mandatory minicamp, it was harder for Isaiah Neyor to make huge impressions, simply because there is a lot of internal competition. After a few weeks of training camp, he ended up waived.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Isaiah Neyor posted a 9.99 RAS with a 4.40 40 yard dash while standing 6\u20194\u201d, 218lbs \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>But how\u2019s the tape?
