suh_fan93 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Will Terrell Newby make this list someday? I don't know but talk about a big land for Nebraska. He looks like he has speed to burn. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I agree Diedrick was underrated. But no way he could put up Rozier-like numbers. Even running behind Rozier's line against Big 8 opponents. Opinions may vary, though. lol Another guy on Diedrick's team who would've made a great RB never even lined up at the position. Jammal Lord. I think he could've been a Sunday player if he'd played RB instead of QB. Quote Link to comment

Lord did play a number of years in the NFL. He was a safety. Drafted by the Texans in the 6th round; played two years, signed with the Colts, but cut shortly after. Quote Link to comment
