ALL-TIME LEADERS IN RECEIVING YARDS FOR NEBRASKA FOOTBALL

NUMBER 9 – NILES PAUL (1,532)

HUSKER WIDE RECEIVER FROM 2007-2010

One of the top recruits in the state of Nebraska, it was a thrill when Niles Paul chose to play his college ball with the Cornhuskers.

Paul didn’t disappoint either, hauling in 103 receptions for 1,532 yards and five touchdowns. His best season came as a junior in 2009 when he had just shy of 800 yards with four trips into the end zone.

Paul was a sixth round pick by the Washington Redskins in the 2011 NFL Draft and remained in the NFL through most of the 2018 season. He was a tight end and not a wide receiver in the pros.

Niles Paul spent the first seven years of his career with Washington and joined the Jaguars in 2018. He’s number nine all-time in receiving yards for Nebraska football.
