Husker senior RB Dedrick Mills declares for NFL Draft | Football



However, “The last few games, I got my knee taped up a certain way so it wouldn’t bother me as much,” he said. “That got my knee right to where I could play in the game well enough that I could actually make it through the whole game.” 

Sometimes you have to play through pain, he said. 

“When you’re trying to get to where I’m trying to be at, then you have to show that you’re strong mentally and physically and you can play through injury and all different types of things,” he said. 

Overall in two seasons as a Husker, Mills rushed for 1,141 yards (5.0 per carry) and 13 touchdowns and added 207 receiving yards on 28 catches.

He said after the win against the Scarlet Knights that he thought he would have a decision on whether to return for 2021 within a couple of days or a week, but he said Tuesday that he actually made his final decision late last week.

He said he immensely enjoyed his time at Nebraska. 

“It was the most family oriented type of program, where they make you feel like you’re home,” he said. “There are still a lot of people there who love me.” 

So, it will be Stepp and a group of youngsters for the Huskers in 2021. Freshman Marvin Scott and redshirt freshmen Rahmir Johnson and Ronald Thompkins combined for 37 carries and 116 yards plus one touchdown in 2020. Freshman Sevion Morrison did not play in a game after battling injuries and missing some time due to COVID-19 protocols.
