Huskers in NFL History Huskers in NFL Draft First Round (32)

Bob Brown (2004) is the most recent Husker in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bob Devaney's first All-American at Nebraska in 1963, Brown spent 10 seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Los Angeles Rams and the Oakland Raiders. Brown (No. 64), who also had his jersey retired by NU in 2004, joined Tom Novak (No. 60) as just the only players in Nebraska history to have their numbers permanently retired.

Huskers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (3) Three former Huskers have earned places among the greatest football players of all time in the hallowed halls of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. A legend at Nebraska, Guy Chamberlin became the premier end of the NFL during the 1920s. He was a playercoach on four NFL championship teams (1922-24, 1926). He concluded his six-year coaching record with a 56-14-5 (.780) record. Chamberlin, who was affectionately referred to as "The Champ," earned All-America honors at Nebraska in 1915, before playing and coaching professionally from 1920 to 1927. Roy "Link" Lyman pioneered a more sophisticated defensive play with a shifting, sliding style. He starred on four

title teams (1922-23, 1924, 1933), and played on one losing team in 16 seasons of college and professional football. Lyman, who played professionally for Canton, Cleveland, Frankford and Chicago from 1922 to 1934, lettered as a tackle at Nebraska in 1918, 1919 and 1921. Nebraska's most recent addition to the Pro Football Hall of Fame celebrated his induction in 2004. Bob Brown, who joins Chamberlin as the only Huskers in both the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame, was the first All-American to play for Bob Devaney at Nebraska in 1963. Brown spent 10 years in the NFL, including five seasons with Philadelphia, three with the Los Angeles Rams and two with the Oakland Raiders.

Huskers in the Super Bowl Nebraska has had 46 former Huskers make 60 appearances in the Super Bowl dating back to Super Bowl II following the 1967 season.
