Nebraska Football Ultimate Wide Receiver Bracket: Johnny Rodgers is the Champion

He’s all the way home!

First - apologies for not getting this out a couple days ago as promised. My work schedule got crazy and I forgot to check on the poll.

With 79% of the vote, The Jet is your ultimate Nebraska wide receiver! Look for a couple of Rodgers highlights below (and the Game of the Century - the real one). There are also some polls for you - one on which position group to do next (BrewCityHSKR has a QB bracket already set up and I think he also has RBs?) and how often/week to publish these. I wanted enough time to allow voting, so I went with 2X per week, but I think that was too much time in between articles? Your thoughts are welcomed via poll or in the comments.

Again, shout out to BrewCityHSKR for setting this up!
