Nebraska expected to see multiple players taken in latest NFL mock draft
A recent mock draft has four Nebraska Cornhuskers being selected on day three of the annual event. Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports has two Huskers projected for selection in round five and two Huskers projected for round seven of the NFL draft.
Nebraska did not have any players selected in the 2024 NFL draft. The last time a Husker was selected was in 2023 when Ochaun Mathis was taken by the Los Angeles Rams, and Trey Plamer was taken by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the sixth round.
The Huskers have had two players selected first overall in the draft's history. In 1937, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Sam Francis, and the New England Patriots took Irving Fryer in 1984.
Nebraska last had four or more players selected in the NFL draft in 2016. That year, Maliek Collins, Vincent Valentine, Alex Lewis, and Andy Janovich were selected.
The 2025 NFL draft will take place April 24-26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Find a breakdown of where CBS Sports believes the four Huskers will be selected and which teams will call their names below.
Ty Robinson - Philadelphia Eagles (Round Five/Pick 168) Defensive Tackle
Ty Robinson enters the NFL draft after a successful five-year career in Lincoln. In 60 games, he totaled 134 tackles with 27 for loss and 12.0 sacks. He ended the 2024 season as a third-team All-Big Ten member.

Tommi Hill - Seattle Seahawks (Round Five/Pick 172) Cornerback
Tommi Hill comes to the 2025 NFL draft after an up-and-down collegiate experience. He spent his freshman year with the Arizona State Sun Devils before joining the Cornhuskers. He began his Nebraska football career at corner before a sudden and strange switch to wide receiver. He would eventually return to corner. In 41 career college football games, he recorded 44 tackles and five interceptions with one touchdown.

Thomas Fidone II - Miami Dolphins (Round Seven/Pick 231) Tight End
Fidone came to Nebraska with a lot of fanfare. He was a four-star recruit and the 2nd overall tight end in the class of 2021. After injuries plagued the start of his career, he was able to find his footing once Matt Rhule arrived on campus. He ended his Nebraska career with 633 receiving yards and four touchdowns in 26 games.

Isaiah Neyor - Detroit Lions (Round Seven/Pick 244) Wide Receiver
Neyor only spent one year with the Cornhuskers after spending his first four years with the Wyoming Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns. In his one year as a Husker, he played in 12 games and had 34 receptions for 455 yards and five touchdowns. Neyor then planned to transfer for a third time to the Louisville Cardinals but would change his mind shortly thereafter and commit to the draft.

Khalil Mack: Staying with Chargers was less about finances than about winning games
Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack says looking for the most lucrative contract offer wasn't his top priority as free agency approached in March. Mack, who stayed with the Chargers on a one-year, $18 million deal, said he thinks there's more he can accomplish with the Chargers and wants to be part of what they're building. 'I had to be fair in the approach to things and not making it about just finances and all the different things,' Mack said, via ESPN. 'I tried to make it more so just about winning ball games.' The Chargers went 11-6 last season in Jim Harbaugh's first year as head coach, and that has Mack thinking about a bright future in Los Angeles. 'Just not wanting to give up on that goal and that ambition that I have ever since I stepped into the league,' Mack said. 'I knew I wanted to play in important games and win a Super Bowl.' For all that he has accomplished in his NFL career, Mack has never experienced winning a playoff game. That's something he thinks he can do with the Chargers, and is one of the reasons he's back for another year.

Top Georgia commit Justice Fitzpatrick shuts down his recruitment
Georgia Bulldogs football cornerback commit Justice Fitzpatrick announced that he will be shutting down his recruitment after recently committing to the University of Georgia. Fitzpatrick was expected to take more visits, but those appear to no longer be happening. Fitzpatrick is highly regarded and is ranked as the 47th-best player in the country. He's the third-best cornerback in the class of 2026 and the fifth-best player in Florida. He's close to being ranked as a five-star recruit. Advertisement His commitment is particularly notable due to his connection to NFL All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, his older brother. This familial link likely played a role, as Georgia head coach Kirby Smart previously recruited and coach Minkah Fitzpatrick at Alabama before taking the Georgia job, which fostered a pre-existing relationship. Fitzpatrick had a scheduled official visit to Ohio State this weekend but Georgia quickly moved to make sure that Fitzpatrick is going to solidified in this recruiting class. Expect him to be one of the core players in this class and help Georgia to secure a top three signing class. Georgia has finished with a top three recruiting class every year since 2017. Although Fitzpatrick is shutting down his recruitment, things are never truly over until early signing day in December. Follow UGAWire on Instagram!

Steelers OC Arthur Smith hilariously says they didn't sign Rodgers to 'run the wishbone'
Steelers OC Arthur Smith hilariously says they didn't sign Rodgers to 'run the wishbone' Steelers OC Arthur Smith hinted at some offensive scheme changes coming in 2025. A conflict of offensive interest seemed to be brewing with the signing of Aaron Rodgers — who threw the second-most pass attempts in the NFL last season — fitting with the run-heavy Steelers, who ran the ball the fourth-most often in 2024. At mandatory minicamp, Smith made it very clear that the additions of Rodgers and DK Metcalf will see the ball fly through the air more in Pittsburgh (courtesy of Mike DeFabo): "Obviously, as your roster evolves — we didn't bring Aaron in here and sign DK for all that money to go run the wishbone." The wishbone, a RB-heavy formation once popular in college football, was clearly a sarcastic dig at anyone questioning whether or not the team would commit to the same offensive philosophy with Rodgers and Metcalf — but it appears Steelers fans that love a good passing attack may have their wish granted this season.
