Neyor has been the next strongest roster contender after Sturdivant, with steady but unspectacular preseason stats: 10 catches for 100 yards and 0 TDs across three games. He logged 21 snaps on special teams, more than Sturdivant, but 10 of those came on kickoff return, which the source characterizes as lower priority than coverage units. The source notes preseason TD absence is not meaningful given inconsistent opportunities and quarterback play.

Neyor showed improved speed and route-running in Week 2 preseason. After working primarily as a possession receiver close to the line in Week 1, he had snaps running deep this week and displayed solid ability to stack the corner over the top, though not quite as explosive as Sturdivant. He also showed nice snap at the top of shorter routes to create separation. Blocking form improved from Week 1, moving away from arm-wrapping technique. Worked more from the slot in Week 2 and looked good there; if blocking continues to improve, slot work could be a strong fit. Overall demonstrates a well-rounded skillset with 4.4 40-yard dash speed from the Combine.

Neyor showed improved versatility in Week 2 preseason, working more in the slot after being primarily outside in Week 1. He demonstrated solid ability to stack the corner over the top and sharp snap at the top of shorter routes to create separation. His blocking form improved notably from Week 1, moving away from arm-wrapping technique. The source notes he has speed (4.4 40-yard dash at Combine) and continues to show a well-rounded skillset, with potential for slot work if blocking form continues to improve.

Despite injury setbacks and college production questions, Neyor has more long-term upside than J. Michael Sturdivant if he can figure out route-running nuances. His size and speed pop immediately on the field, he's only 25 years old, and there is room in the Packers' crowded receiver room (Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Bo Melton, Savion Williams) for a tall burner. He could potentially press Savion Williams for a roster spot if he continues to impress in preseason.

Neyor's weaknesses identified by Dane Brugler—unseasoned route running, slow adjustment at route tops, blocking technique issues, and corner pressing trouble—are all teachable skills. Critically, Neyor lost significant development time in college due to two knee injuries; a year on the practice squad likely helped him more than the average prospect, as it allowed technique refinement away from game-prep demands. He looked much more polished as a route-runner in preseason limited work than on college tape.

Neyor posted a 9.90 RAS with elite testing in everything but agility drills (where he was merely good), putting to rest concerns about his athletic profile. His closest RAS comp is Brian Thomas Jr, with Alec Pierce and Bryce Lance also making appearances. At 6-4, 218, he's back to full speed, and Dane Brugler ranked him 28th among receivers with a sixth-round grade, praising his athletic profile, catch radius, and body control.

PositiveBustAug 20, 2026Acme Packing Company
Neyor's 2021 breakout is complicated by two major concerns: Wyoming faced no quality opponents (Boise State was probably the best) during the Covid-affected season, and the offense didn't pass much in the first place, making volume-based production potentially misleading. Additionally, a torn ACL robbed him of his entire 2022 season, followed by two transfers (Texas in 2023, Nebraska in 2024) where he struggled to produce, re-injured the same knee at Texas, and fell on the depth chart at Nebraska despite limited competition.

Neyor, a 6'4", 218 lb UDFA with a 9.97 RAS (11th among 3,408 WRs since 1987), showed natural receiver instincts in preseason week 1, leading the Packers with 4 catches on 4 targets for 34 yards. The source praises his ease operating as a possession receiver, crisp route running, and ability to work back to the ball; he demonstrates understanding of his role and moves like a professional. Blocking remains a concern—he shows willingness but inconsistent technique, with a tendency to wrap arms wide (holding risk) and tentativeness as an insert blocker. Overall assessment: "As a receiver, I really like him... If he can clean up his blocking, you can color me intrigued."

Neyor, an undrafted free agent signed by the 49ers in 2025 before joining the Packers practice squad, got 3 snaps in the Wild Card game against the Bears last season. At 6'4", 218 lbs with a 4.43 40-yard dash and 9.97 RAS score (11th out of 3,408 WRs since 1987), he has elite measurables for a Packers receiver. In the first preseason game, he led the team with 4 catches on 4 targets for 34 yards, demonstrating the ability to threaten vertically, cut sharply, and make sideline catches with ease and professionalism as a possession receiver.
