Steven M. Sipple: Be it backpedaling freaks or smiling freaks, Huskers just need more of them

Scott Frost fully understands what I'm about to write, and most of you probably fully understand what I'm about to write.

But with the three-day NFL Draft set to begin Thursday night, it bears reiterating. It bears emphasizing.

Nebraska needs more freaks. It needs a lot more players who make plays that make you do double-takes on autumn Saturdays.

Frost, the third-year Nebraska head coach, knows all about freaks because he played with them during the mid-1990s at NU and also from 1998-2003 in the NFL.

He's surely aware the Huskers are set to go a ninth straight year without someone on the roster being selected in the first round of the draft.
