Neimann molded the minds of some great defenders, and guided many great defensive units in his coaching career. In the last four years, seven players from Niemann's defense have signed with NFL teams. These players include well known names such as Jimmie Ward, Rashaan Melvin and Alan Baxter.
Not only has he overseen professional talent, he has also built strong defensive units in DeKalb.
