Nebraska WR DeMornay Pierson-El

2016 stats: 10 receptions, 144 yards, one touchdown; nine rushes, 3 yards; 15 punt returns, 145 yards

After watching "DPE" finish second nationally in punt return average (17.5 yards) in 2014, Nebraska fans envisioned more touches for the speedster in space. But an awful leg/knee injury derailed Pierson-El's sophomore season, and he hasn't been a factor in Nebraska's passing game so far this fall. Pierson-El has one or zero receptions in seven of the Huskers' nine games this season. Nebraska is deep at receiver, but Pierson-El hasn't been featured much despite averaging 14.4 yards per reception.
