Three former Nebraska Huskers are making waves in ESPNs latest NFL mock draft.

Johnsons impressive 2021 season, including Big Ten Running Back of the Year honors and solid receiving numbers, has caught the eye of scouts. Cornerback Ceyair Wright, who transferred from USC, is projected in the sixth round to the Philadelphia Eagles, while safety DeShon Singleton is expected to go in the seventh round to the Cleveland Browns. The NFL draft is set to take place in Pittsburgh from April 23-26, and these projections have Nebraska fans eagerly anticipating who will hear their name called.
