Three Husker Greats Named to ESPN All-Time All-America Team

The Nebraska football team was well represented on the ESPN All-Time All-American Team that was announced on Thursday morning, with three Husker greats and Nebraska natives receiving recognition.

Johnny Rodgers, the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner, was named to the first-team as an all-purpose standout. Center Dave Rimington and guard Dean Steinkuhler, a pair of Outland and Lombardi winning offensive lineman from the 1980s, comprised two of the five spots on the second-team offensive line.

The all-time team was part of ESPN's yearlong celebration of the 150th Anniversary of college football.

Rodgers was one of the most electrifying players in the history of college football.
