He was ALWAYS there for his team. Who else could ever say that in the NFL?

I knew his cousin, who had always said he belonged in the HoF. Just didn’t happen as soon as it should have.

I was going to go with Will Shields, but looking at the summary above 17 ys vs 14, 4SB appearances, 240 games vs 231. However, Will's 12 pro bowls almost swayed me. I wish tie was an option.

Tingelhoff because the game was not so specialized in his tenure....let's not forget big Bob Brown either when comparing best Husker lineman in the NFL!!

I read the stats accompanying this poll. If you compare them both are GREAT... but Mick's numbers are better.

Tingelhoff. There was nobody tougher at Lexington, the U of Nebraska, or the Minnesota Vikings. He pays the price today but he was a gentle and unmatched WARRIOR.

Cook is an outstanding coach and I wouldn't trade him for anyone, but Pettit built the program into one of national prominence.

Coach Pettit Deserves credit for putting Nebraska to the top, but Coach Cook has not only won the games, 4 National Championships, but has kept Nebraska up as other schools have developed.

Bessides Washington, he is exactly what we need, although I see him as a backup, or secondary back to Washington. Washington is better, but we'll see how the season unfolds. It's coming!

I'm more than a little concerned about his off-field issues but man - this could be the jolt the offense needs to be damn near unstoppable

Washington is absent for time being. Wirhout Washington D. Mills clearly stands out as the RB who has the most yards of experience at running back for Nebraska.

NU fans have heaped praise on other running backs before they ever excelled on the field. We are doing the same for Dedrick Mills. Let him show us he is the missing link. Remember last year's RB?

IF, IF he can keep himself upright moving forwards, keep issues laid to rest, there is a very positive reaction for a team that has some elementary attitudes, I want all Huskers to succeed!

With Wandale Robinson coming on board, and more maturity and experience at QB, perhaps a big RB wasn't as critical as some positions on defense.

I'll trust the coaches if they think he's got his off field issues under control, but we've seen too many hyped-up JC transfers flame out for me to be too excited until I see something on game day.

Have to see what kind of shape he is in now and where he will be at the end of fall camp. Greg Bell was a very high rated JC back last year and we see how that worked out. I want the best for him!
