On Wednesday, the Nebraska football team spent the morning visiting hospitals in the Lincoln area as part of a longstanding tradition of doing outreach the day before Thanksgiving.
This was the 23rd consecutive year that the Husker football team has taken part in the hospital visits. 2017 sites included the Madonna Rehabilitation, Bryan Medical Center, CHI Health/St. Elizabeth's Regional Medical Center and the Nebraska Heart Institute & Heart Hospital.
Members of the Husker football team spent with patients of a variety of ages, signing autographs, taking pictures and spreading the holiday spirit.
