About Derek
Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Niday measures in at 5’8 165-pounds accounting for 26 receptions for 451 yards with 3 touchdowns. Niday has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, jumping, good acceleration, and speed. Uses his quick feet to gain the upper hand at the line of scrimmage. He has good separation quickness due to fighting through contact or finding a soft spot in the zone to exploit. Niday has good ball tracking and catching. Very good ball adjustment with good body control. After the catch, he’ll use his elusiveness to gain more yards for his offense. I’m excited to see how Niday continues his development moving forward!
