He always had the physical traits to be successful. But boy did I ever yell at the TV a lot when Neiko played at AU

Oh I’m well aware it’s still a feat that he’s listed as long as he has in that capacity

Amazing that he’s lasted that long on special teams since he’s not good in the secondary. Usually those spots go to developmental guys

All I can think is he provides great leadership for the special teams along with being great at his position on ST

Gotta tip your hat to the guy. He found his niche and has done work, hard work, to keep it.

And he’s made almost $7 million for himself and his family over the last decade. For an undrafted FA without a regular position, thats pretty damned impressive.

It is embarrassing how bad Chiz was at actual coaching.

The only coach I've ever heard say they didn't want to wrap up the ball carrier for a tackle.

But then again, he's had a lot of success as a coach, so knows.

Neiko Melba Thorpe

Neiko fricking Thorpe

I am happy for him, but I am in the same boat. I can remember balls being in the air headed his way and blurting out "Oh frick". I already knew.
