Maybe Nebraska players don't need to know Jay Foreman's credentials as a former Husker and NFL player, at least not all of them.
Maybe they don't need to know that Foreman was a starting linebacker on Nebraska's 1995 and 1997 national championship teams and went on to be a fifth-round draft pick of the Buffalo Bills. Maybe they don't need to know he recorded a whopping 143 tackles for the Houston Texans in 2002 and 136 in 2003.
But because Foreman and former Nebraska teammate Jason Peter recently began helping the program as volunteers — essentially mentoring players and perhaps pushing them to reach higher levels — it makes sense for those players to know something about how Foreman and Peter went about achieving individual and team success.
