Nebraska had a pair of former standouts register impressive accomplishments over the weekend.
Linebacker Luke Gifford and running back Devine Ozigbo each made 53-man NFL roster despite not getting drafted back in May.
Ozigbo was cut by the New Orleans Saints -- the team he signed with shortly after the draft ended and was with all the way through the preseason -- but signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Local reports in New Orleans suggest the Saints were hoping they could sneak Ozigbo through waivers and get him on to their practice squad, but when a player is cut, every team has the option of signing him to its active roster before the original team can put a player on the practice squad.
