List of Nebraska Cornhuskers in the NFL Draft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Nebraska Cornhuskers football players in the NFL Draft.

Nebraska had at least one player drafted every year from 1962 to 2018, a streak that was snapped in 2019. Two Huskers have been selected first overall (Sam Francis in 1937 and Irving Fryar in 1984), and one was selected last (Stan Hegener in 1975).

  1. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r From 1960–1966, the American Football League (AFL), a competitor to the NFL, drafted picks competitively against the NFL. Due to the competitive nature of the two drafts during this era, some players were drafted by both AFL and NFL teams and are thus listed twice. Additionally, the rounds and pick numbers for these selections correspond to selections in their respective AFL drafts. Many of the teams are now NFL teams, they were not at the time of selection; the AFL merged into the NFL into one league in 1969.
  2. ^ a b From 1967–1969, the AFL and NFL held a common draft. Following the AFL's merger into the NFL in 1969, the AFL teams became NFL team though they were not at the time of selection.

Supplemental Drafts[]

No Nebraska player has been selected as a standalone supplemental draft pick since the rule's inception in 1977.

Three former Cornhuskers were drafted in the 1984 NFL supplemental draft of USFL and CFL players:

Round Pick in round Overall Pick NFL Team Player Position USFL/CFL team
1 2 2 Oilers Mike Rozier RB Pittsburgh Maulers (USFL)
3 8 64 Jets Turner Gill QB Montreal Concordes (CFL)
3 24 80 49ers Mark Schellen RB New Orleans Breakers (USFL)

CFL Drafts[]

The Canadian Football League (CFL), though a separate league, is the only other major gridiron football league that currently drafts competitively against the NFL. Only players of Canadian citizenship or otherwise 'non-import' status are eligible to be drafted in the CFL's Canadian College Draft.
