Nebraska well represented on College Football All-Time All American Teams

[Undertow]

Admittedly this is just CBS Sports version on the All-Time All American teams at the 150th anniversary of the sport. But for Nebraska fan, it is a fond look back at the excellence of the past:

As the article states, four Nebraska players and five positions on the first team, 2 more than anyone else. Nebraska also has 3 on the 2nd team and 2 "honorable mentions." Like most all-time lists, there is a certain amount of recency bias, but this list isn't too bad in that regard.

 

1st team - Frazier, Rimington, Suh, Rodgers (two positions: punt returner and all purpose player)

2nd Team - Will Shields, Rich Glover, Alex Henery

Receiving votes - Aaron Taylor, Dominic Raiola

 

The one name that sticks out to me not on the list for Husker fan is Bob Brown. I was too young to remember much of his college days, I just know he was the Baddest O-Lineman on the planet in the late 60s and early 70s.

i would have added a couple of names to the mix...at least as vote getters

 

Wistrom and Alberts

I never understand why Terrell Suggs is never even mentioned on lists I look at. That dude was literally unblockable in college. 24 sacks in one season and 31.5 TFL in 02'

It's almost like we used to be good.
