LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — A handful of former Huskers have made the final 53-man roster for some NFL teams.
Wide receiver Stanley Morgan, Jr. has made the team for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Here's the initial 53. The biggest surprise to me is Stanley Morgan Jr. and Mitchell Wilcox being included. Also congrats to Darius Hodge, Jalen Davis, and Isaiah Prince.
