The Green Bay Packers announced the signing of former Nebraska and Texas receiver Isaiah Neyor on Wednesday, along with a corresponding move of placing offensive tackle Travis Glover on injured reserve. Neyer will wear No. 80 with the Packers.
The 6-foot-4, 218-pound Neyor is a rookie after going undrafted in April’s 2025 NFL Draft, but was released by the San Francisco 49ers on Monday after signing with them May 9 as an undrafted free agent.
Neyor started nine of the 12 games he played last season with the Cornhuskers, ranking second on Nebraska roster with 455 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns on 34 receptions in 2024.
Neyor originally signed with Wyoming as a three-star recruit in the 2020 class, and earned second-team All-Mountain West honors after hauling in 878 yards and 12 touchdowns on 44 receptions in the 2021 season before entering the NCAA Transfer Portal. He then signed with Texas, but only saw limited action in 2023 after suffering a torn ACL during preseason camp in 2022, before opting to re-enter the portal following the 2023 regular-season.
Neyor played high school football at Lamar (TX), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 2,739 overall prospect and the No. 368 wide receiver in the 2020 recruiting cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Although Neyor ultimately didn’t hear his named called during the 2025 NFL Draft, he was a standout at the NFL Scouting Combine. The 6-foot-4 wideout ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash with a 1.51-second 10-yard split.
Additionally, Neyor recorded a 38-inch vertical jump and an 11-foot broad jump. His athleticism score ranked second among all receivers at the NFL Scouting Combine. Ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein provided an in-depth analysis of Neyor’s game.
“Height, weight, speed prospect who finished five years of college with just two seasons of double-digit catches,” Zierlein wrote. “Neyor is a long-strider with the ability to separate in his stems and turns. His nearly seven-foot wingspan is on display with catch-radius grabs, but he lacks the toughness and hand strength to finish when contested. His blend of size, speed and separation potential is valuable, but his skill level still needs to be developed, which could make him a practice squad candidate.”
