OMC: Have you seen some of the highlights people have posted on YouTube of you?

JN: I've seen some, and I've heard other people talk about it. I couldn't tell you who's doing it.

OMC: For those of us who hadn't seen many Kansas State games, some of that stuff really grabs your attention. There's one of your blowing by Kansas cornerback Aqib Talib (the 20th overall pick by Tampa Bay Buccaneers) on a go route for a 68-yard touchdown, there's your 89-yard punt return for a touchdown against Texas, and then my favorite: There's a pass thrown well behind you against Baylor, and somehow you reach back with your left arm and grab it. You turn upfield, shed a tackle and turn it into a 31-yard gain. Admit it, even you have to smile when you see that one replayed.

JN: (smiles) When you make catches like that, it's nothing you can really practice. It just sort of happens. You stick your hand back there and it kind of sticks. I think I do have good hands and I catch the ball consistently. Hopefully that'll continue.

OMC: When you flew in for the rookie orientation camp, what were you thinking about as you got closer to Green Bay? Did it look much like Kansas from your window seat?

JN: I think Green Bay's a little bigger, but flying in, it's very similar. Seeing a lot of the farmland, the agriculture, and then just the way they're talking about how the fans are, it's a lot like a college football town. I'm excited. I think it'll be a good fit. I can't wait to move up here and be here for a full year. My wife and I will be getting a house here this summer and move up here and hopefully be part of the community.

OMC: How much of your time at Kansas State overlapped with (now University of Wisconsin senior quarterback) Allan Evridge? He transferred from K-State to Wisconsin a couple years ago.

JN: I played one year with him. He redshirted one year (there) and then I played one year with him off-and-on. He actually sent me a text on draft day when he found out I was headed up to Wisconsin, to Green Bay. I saved his number, so hopefully we can get together and talk some more. I haven't really talked to him since he left K-State.

OMC: So who was the bigger Big Man On Campus, you or (basketball player and likely NBA lottery pick) Michael Beasley? Maybe he wasn't on campus long enough to be a BMOC, I don't know.

JN: Locally, I'm going to have to say myself because I came from a small town right beside K-State. Nationally, definitely Beasley, without a doubt.

OMC: Fair or not, people tend to look at guys like you and (Packers Pro Bowl defensive end) Aaron Kampman as overachievers who succeed because of their effort and work ethic, not because of their talent or athleticism. Your agent even said before the draft that you're "more than a try-hard white guy." Does that try-hard, high-effort thing undersell your ability?

JN: It doesn't matter. That's something I take a lot of pride in -- trying hard and working hard. I think that's how I got to where I am today. I'll take all the labels there are. It doesn't matter to me. I just want to be my normal self -- work hard, and do the things that got me where I am. Hopefully with being a full-time football player and not having to worry about school, I can improve my game.
