Martin is a good call. Had a pretty nice NFL career as well.

Jeff Finn was also a good TE who wore #87.

Nate Swift for me..

Gotta be Bob Martin. That Fu Manchu was nasty. Bob today looks like a marathoner -- weighs about 180, and the big curly head of hair and facial hair is long gone. His daughter just finished up a nice career on the Husker track team.
Honorable mention: Rocke Loken for marrying the prettiest girl on campus.

Career wasn't on the level of Martin or Swift, but Brandon Reilly did have some big moments/catches during his time as a Husker.

Bill Weber also had a very solid career at DE.

Tracy Wistrom should get a shoutout. Had to look it up, but 4-year starter at TE, 40+ wins and a Natty appearance aint too shabby.

I re-watched his seasons recently. Absolutely dominant, just like his brother on the other side of the ball. It's a shame he was injured for part of his senior year.
