Nebraska usually keeps some watch-worthy collegiate football teams around, but when it come to indivdual, elite talent hailing from the Mid-Western state options are limited. Fortunately, not too limited though as former NFL running back Ahman Green will be holding it down the Cornhusker State. Born and raised in Omaha, Green played his college ball in his home state at the University of Nebraska for three seasons where he contributed to two Bowl Alliance National Championships in 1995 and 1997.
In 1998, Green was drafted 76th overall in the third round of the NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. After spending a couple of seasons in Washington, Green took his talents to Green Bay where he would become the franchise's all-time leading rusher, running for a total of 8,322 yards with the Packers alone. Unfortunately, Green was sidelined by a shoulder injury that would drastically affect his NFL career. In 2011, Green would retire after playing in the CFL. Today, he's part-owner of the Green Bay Blizzard, an arena football team based in Wisconsin.
