Frequently during his career in Lincoln, the Huskers looked to Burkhead to provide a spark out of the backfield. They are the backs that can simultaneously run over defensive backs and make linebackers miss.
Rex Burkhead has shown time and time again the ability to do just that, most recently against Iowa in the Heroes Game. In the same crucial, clock-draining drive, Burkhead carried half the Hawkeye defense on his back to provide the Husker offense with vital breathing room on their own goal line.
A few plays later, he broke the ankles of a poor defender who had the unfortunate task of trying to bring Superman down in the open field. Burkhead has found his way into the hearts of Nebraska fans on and off the field. His performances on the field have produced memorable moments for Husker nation and made him a household name across the state.
But it is his character when the pads are off that has made him such an endeared member of the Nebraska community. While community service obviously does not mean anything directly for NFL scouts looking for production, it says a lot about the way in which Burkhead would approach an NFL opportunity.
Teams should look at the great work he has done off the field as evidence for the selfless and generous player Burkhead will make within a team. Seemingly on a daily basis, NFL players prove that they are not your average members of their communities.
Starting in high school, fame and popularity of quality football players can quickly turn Average Joes into big-city divas. However, that baggage will not come with Rex Burkhead.
