For the second time in five years, the Nebraska Cornhuskers did not have a player selected in the NFL draft. While several players and their potential draft stock were speculated about, no Huskers saw their names called during the 2024 edition of the annual event.
Nebraska had at least one player drafted every year from 1962-2018. That streak would be snapped in 2019 when no Huskers were selected.
Two former Cornhuskers have been selected with the first overall selection in NFL draft history. They are Sam Francis in 1937 and Irving Fryar in 1984. One player, Stan Hegener, in 1975, was selected with the last pick in the draft.
Several Nebraska football players have signed with NFL teams as undrafted agents. Find a breakdown of all the moves below.
Nouredin Nouili – New Orleans Saints
Phalen Sanford – Las Vegas Raiders
Omar Brown – Denver Broncos
Quinton Newsome – Denver Broncos
Marco Ortiz – Las Angeles Chargers
Anthony Grant – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Billy Kemp – New York Giants
