Barrick Nealy is a Viking

[Bull Butter]

Undrafted, but signed as a FA with Minnesota. He's too big of a physical specimen and too good of an athlete not to make an NFL roster somewhere.

Best of luck, Barrick!

If he would've been on a D-IA team he would've been considered one of the five best QB's in the country.

I was wondering where he'd sign. Hopefully he can make some waves as a receiver/backup QB.

I had heard a lot about him earlier in the year, but never believed it until I saw the Semis, where he wouldve found a way to win the game if not for a horrible coaching call by TxState. He'll do something in the NFL, that's for sure.

ESPN2, covering their playoff run, compared him to Vince Young.. saying if you took them, put a plain colored jersey on them, and watched them play... you couldnt tell the difference by much other than throwing mechanics

I would have liked to see him sign with the Steelers instead. No one, and I mean no one, does a better job of utilizing the skills of talented young men like Nealy better than Bill Cowher. Nealy has the size to be an excellent possesion type receiver (#2 receiver) and the natural ability to be a very deadly weapon if the Vikes choose to use him as a Slash type of player.

Mos Def. Then Hines Ward filled that role until Randell-El was appointed to the position.

I think that he could be every bit the QB that Young is.

[injuredinmelee]

i think he fits the Culpepper mold perfectly. The kid can flat out play QB.

[Macarthur]

I was really hoping the boys would snag him. I, too, think he has big upside.
