best Husker pros?

[corncraze]

So I got asked by a friend today what has Nebraska done in the pros, so of course I talk about Craig, then Winstrom, Shields, Thomas, fryar, Bob brown, and Guy Chamberlain. But it got me thinking, who were the most successful Huskers in the NFL. So my question 4 y'all is who would ur top 5 b and y?

Ahman Green is the all-time leading rusher in Green Bay Packers history, that has got to get him in the top 5. Irving Fryar , Will Shields, Bob Brown are all three good ones. Roger Craig I guess.

 

Tom Rathman was good, Wistrom is up there as well. I guess mine would go like this.

 

1. Bob Brown (HOFer baby)

2. Will Shields

3. Roger Craig

4. Ahman Green

5. Irving Fryar

Forgot about Rathman and Green, good thinking. Also what about Rozier anyone, not wat he was in college (maybe because of the injury he sustained after the Miami game ) but he did have more than one 1000 yrd rushing season

[VA Husker Fan]

Probably not top 5, but John Dutton was a solid DL and 3 time pro bowler.

I'm a chiefs fan soooo Neil is quite a confliction 4 me, but my allegiance is first to the Huskersso I still like the dude haha

 

What about Rich Glover?

[VA Husker Fan]

 

What about Rich Glover?

What about him? 2 years in the NFL, 1 in the WFL as a too-small DT. One of the all-time great Husker players, but he doesn't belong in any conversations about best pro Huskers.

Fixed.

 

I'd have to agree with Craig and Green being up there. I didn't get to experience a lot of the older guys, but Shields, Fryar, Neil Smith, Rathman and Wistrom are names that I'd have no arguments against either.

[holvy83]

What, no Johnny Mitchell? Always kind of hated getting into a conversation about what schools have better pro players, b/c it has mainly been with buddies who are Miami fans

[VA Husker Fan]

Yeah, it's tough, because while we've had some very good players, there really hasn't been that dominant guy, like a Payton Manning or Barry Sanders or Jerry Rice or Lawrence Taylor. I'm hoping Suh can be that guy.
