‘To play college football four years and be part of a team that only lost two games and won 49, that won’t be repeated’
This is the third in a series in conjunction with Thursday night's premiere of the Nebraska football documentary "Day by Day: The Rise" about the Huskers' dominant run in the 1990s.
Grant Wistrom was a two-time consensus All-American and two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year at defensive end. He won the Lombardi Award and was selected Big 12 Male Athlete of the Year as a senior. After winning three national championships at Nebraska, Wistrom was drafted by the St. Louis Rams. He played for the Rams from 1998-2003, winning a Super Bowl ring along the way, before playing three more years for the Seattle Seahawks.
Q. Are you going to be in Lincoln for the film premiere?
Grant Wistrom: I wish I could, but I live in Springfield, Missouri, and getting up to Lincoln for me is a rarity. It’s a special event, but I just can’t make it this time.
