Mavric Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Huskers have the most first-team selections (four) and the most overall picks (six). The first-teamers are return specialist Johnny Rodgers, center Dave Rimington, offensive lineman Will Shields and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Two Nebraskans made the third team: quarterback Tommie Frazier and offensive lineman Dean Steinkuhler. Next with five overall selections were Ohio State and Pittsburgh. Schools with four were Alabama, Oklahoma and Texas. Those with three were Florida State, Georgia, Michigan and USC. ... To be eligible, honorees must have been a first-team FWAA All-American. (So don’t yell at me for Gale Sayers not making it. He wasn’t on the list.) The votes from our 1,400 members went to the 11-member selection committee. OWH Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 You can't put Barry Sanders on the second team but if they're going off of college results I guess one could. Griffin's 2 heisman's undoubtedly played a role in selecting him to first team. Also interesting to see Jim Brown's absence. Awesome to see a lot of Huskers listed and deservedly so.

NUance Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Interesting seeing some of the schools these legends attended that I wasn't aware of. Like Mike Singletary, Baylor and Reggie White, Tennessee. Quote Link to comment
