we spent a draft pick on him and cut him in training camp..kind of a surprise at the time because we kept arnold jackson and some other guys instead..and jackson was undrafted (both were receivers and return guys)..I think newcombe was coming off of an injury.. If I recall he was really slow and seemed to be unprepared to be a receiver.. I know some of you guys are nebraska fans..just wondered what happened to him.. I am not posting this to see if he is available (I am sure he is)..just curious what happened to him..
what happened to bobby newcombe?

He had a back injury and never could get healthy. I am not sure what he is doing now.

Actually he made the roster of the Montreal Alouettes (CFL) as a slot receiver, but was cut after after 3 or 4 starts.
He seemed to have some fear going over the middle and had a lot of drops.
