Russ Hochstein was the first that popped in my mind after the Peter brothers and was an All-American. He played in the NFL for about a decade, winning a pair of Super Bowls.
Edit: Read this on Hochstein's Wikipedia Page:
"Hochstein was traded to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a seventh-round selection (which the Patriots had sent with Le Kevin Smith in a prior trade) in the 2010 NFL Draft on August 25, 2009."
While they weren't teammates at Nebraska, interesting to see two Huskers involved in a trade, even if tangentially in this case.

These are two I really like as well. Bill Janssen was a starter on a national title team, while Rod was the most dedicated lifter I ever knew. Super strong, yet another one of those studious, quiet guys away form the game. He played in the Super Bowl as rookie with Cincinnati, then walked away from football to begin his real life. Terrific guy and one admired by Coach Osborne
No question Bill Janssen was a house hold name like so many after the back to back national championship teams..
I think he wore 55 in both 1996 and 1997 but don’t quote me on that
He did He was #95 on the 94 team.
Christian had 55 for the 93-95 seasons.
