I'm too lazy to look up where he went to college but I really want it to be Indiana. That way his nickname could be ...Hoosier Dadi!

I thought it was "Who's your daddy?"

I liked hearing his name announced after a play at Arrowhead. My friends would all yell his name.

I specifically remember this kid from reading up on the draft two years ago. He stood out because his measurables were so ridiculous. He had a very good SPARQ, he’s tall and has almost 35” arms IIRC. No idea about his talent level.

I felt I'd heard about him before. i wonder if he was a Seahawks draftblog fave.

He's currently listed at 6'3" 239# at.com

Combine profile:

41" vertical

"BOTTOM LINE
Wiry edge player forced to play too often with a hand in the ground despite his clear lack of power to handle the the position. Nicolas combines hustle and exciting athletic traits that will have evaluators trying to find a place for him, but without better technique and overall strength, life as an edge player might be difficult. If a team is willing to be patient, it might be worth taking a look at Nicolas as a 3-­4 inside linebacker."

^^^^ Thanks for posting.

Nicolas also possesses those long 34 3/4 inch arms and 10 3/8 hands they like. Unfortunately, he was placed on injured reserve on January 4, 2017 after suffering a ruptured patella tendon while with the KC Chiefs. He missed all of 2017 and is now a semi under the radar prospect facing the challenge of injury recovery along with much yet to learn about NFL technique and game.

He could be really valuable in various practice roles and turn out to be quite a story if he can demonstrate lots of grit and steady progress.
