Former Nebraska football star Irving Fryar earned a rather prestigious honor as he was recently named to the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame.
There was a time when Irving Fryar was light years ahead of any former Nebraska football receiver not named Johnny Rodgers. He was the man who showed that even an offense that centered on the run could produce a pass catcher to be feared.
He demonstrated his ability despite being in a run-first offense to a level that he was the first overall pick in the 1984 draft by the New England Patriots.
