OMAHA — Barrett Ruud has seen a lot and experienced a lot in the years since he left Nebraska as one of the most decorated linebackers in school history.

After he racked up 432 tackles, most ever by a Blackshirt, he was picked in the second round of the NFL Draft. He played eight seasons in the NFL, the first six with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
