About Derek
Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Niday measures in at 5’8 165-pounds. This past season, he had 26 receptions for 451 yards and 3 touchdowns. Niday has good athletic ability due to very good jumping, change of direction, good speed, and acceleration. Niday has a good release at the line of scrimmage due to his quick feet. He excels against the press jam. Fluid route running with good separation quickness. Manages to find a soft spot in the zone and exploit. Niday has strong catching with good ball tracking skills. Plucks the ball with ease. Good body adjustment and body control. I’m projecting Niday to have a breakout season.
