You don't think Mills stock would rise with a 1000 yd season in the Big 10? I believe it would make a big difference in his ability to get drafted because the BIG is such a tough defensive conference. We've seen however a lot of games where Nebraska quickly gives up on the run even in situations where running is our best option. Ziggy had his best season when he got 155 carries and performed pretty well imo. Even if Ziggy only plays another year with Jacksonville he managed to make a nice piece of change. Devine Ozigbo signed a 3 year, $1,755,000 contract with the New Orleans Saints, including an average annual salary of $585,000. In 2020, Ozigbo will earn a base salary of $544,706, while carrying a cap hit of $544,705.
I think Mills is being under valued by a lot of Husker fans and we'll miss him next season if he doesn't return.
