No, I totally agree. I remember when he committed how excited I was. I had no clue who Barry Sanders was. Fast forward to today, and everybody knows Barry Sanders, while only husker fans knows Terry Rodgers. It’s too bad thinks happened the way they did for him.Well sure, Sanders was a huge miss. But my point is that NU didn’t just sign Rodgers because he was JR’s kid. He might have had a good career at NU if his knee didn’t explode. Von Shepherd was similar. He was a big-time wingback/KR out of the Twin Cities whose knees just wouldn’t hold up.
For me that’s a lot different than guys who just couldn’t cut it.
