1. Jordan Westerkamp is a positive thinker, an upbeat person in general -- and he remains upbeat about his chances to eventually play in the NFL.

"Right now, I'm training my butt off," he said last week from his home in suburban Chicago.

Westerkamp, who ranks second all-time at Nebraska in career receptions (167), wasn't selected in the NFL Draft in late April. But he since has had tryouts with Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Miami.

What's more, "I went and did a little workout with the Kansas City Chiefs about a week ago and did extremely well," he said.
