Dedrick Mills must feel absolutely blessed these days.
Blessed and ready to take advantage of a golden opportunity -- an opportunity he's surely earned.
The Nebraska senior running back cherishes the sport of football. Joy is apparent in the way he practices and plays. The 5-foot-11, 220-pound transfer from Garden City (Kansas) Community College, by way of Georgia Tech, arrived in Lincoln in the summer of 2019 with a reputation for being an excellent practice player.
