Nebraska Football: 10 Best Wide Receivers of All-Time
6. Niles Paul
A staple of Bo Pelini’s early teams, Paul ranks ninth all-time in receptions (103) and seventh in career yardage (1,532).
His name also sits at No. 7 on the list of most yards by a Husker receiver in a single season with 796 from his 2009 campaign.
During that year, he would place himself in the record books for most receiving yards in a single game twice, once with a 143-yard outing against Iowa State and again with a 154-yard day against Kansas.
He averaged nearly 20 yards per catch on his 40 receptions that year adding four scores to Nebraska’s total.
Voted Second-team All-Big 12 in 2010, he also aided the Big Red as a kick returner with 77 attempts resulting in 1,887 yards and two touchdowns.
Following his years with Nebraska football, Paul was drafted with the 155th pick of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, a team he still plays with to this day.
