Best #8 in Husker history

Tyrone Williams gets the nod followed by Ameer Abdullah and then Stanley Morgan.

Has to be Tyrone Williams.

Our first true real lock down CB we ever had.

Best CB in Husker history,

Abdullah.

Dejon Gomes was pretty good in that number too.

Dejon Gomes was pretty good in that number too.

He wore 7

He wore 7

A “day early and a dollar ahead”?

Gomes almost pick 6 in the rain at Missouri was one of my favorite plays, and also favorite games. Suh had a pick that night too, and Suh also broke Gabbert’s ankle on a rag doll sack.

Oh that 09’ defense.

I'm going with CB Tyrone Williams over IB Ameer Abdullah.

Honorable Mention...
- WR Stanley Morgan, Jr.
- CB Chris Jones
- QB Zach Miller, Wahoo Neumman grad who transferred out, dominated at UNO, played a few years as a TE in the NFL before suffering a gruesome leg injury.
- WB John Gibson
- FS Tyrone Byrd
- QB Nate Mason. Unfortunately for him, we had Turner Gill.

Moments...
- Andrew Shanle as a gunner against Michigan in the 2005 Alamo Bowl, arriving right when the returner caught the ball... twice.
- Abdullah taking a KO return to the house in his first game as a Husker vs. Fresno State, a game in which we never felt comfortable.
- Nebraska fans trying to call Abdullah's game-winning TD against McNeese State a "Heisman Moment". MCNEESE STATE!

Futures Consideration: Logan Smothers

Loved Tyrone Williams but I'll take Abdullah by the slimmest of margins.

Ben Rutz could join Nate Mason in the "but we had this other guy" category.
