The Rex Burkhead Appreciation Show! LIVE Thursday at 9pm Central
Photo by Eric Francis/Getty ImagesOne of the most beloved Huskers of all time announced his retirement as Rex Burkhead let it be known that he was hanging up his cleats. The 33-year-old was a sixth-round draft pick in 2013 and spent his ten year NFL career among the Cincinnati Bengals, New England Patriots, and Houston Texans.
While at Nebraska, the Plano, TX native rushed for over 3,300 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was All Big Ten in 2011. But perhaps Burkhead’s greatest accomplishment was the relationships he forged with the Team Jack Foundation, making Jack Hoffman and pediatric cancer household names.
Mr. Burkhead...we salute you!
