Nebraska Football: Two Huskers selected in busy XFL Draft

Brandon Reilly and De’Mornay Pierson-El have both found new football homes. As some of you may know, the XFL Draft was held on Wednesday. Both former Nebraska Football players managed to get selected.

As some of you may remember, Pierson-El was a tremendously good returner for Nebraska.

Reilly was a cataclysmic player for Nebraska. His best season for Nebraska came in 2015. He recorded 40 receptions for 754 yards and four touchdowns. Averaging 18.9 yards per catch, he was truly a big-play threat.

Reilly would finish his Nebraska career with 70 receptions for 1,275 yards and six touchdowns.
