Nebraska’s Hickman does not care the chance to NFL

Jacob Hickman is not interested in NFL jersey.

“Playing in the NFL was never a dream for me, like the end-all, be-all,” Hickman said. “I kind of thought if that happens, it’s something I would do. As it has progressed, I’ve kind of gone in a different direction.” Some scouting services ranked Hickman as high as the No. 10 center available in April’s NFL draft. But a few days after the Cornhuskers beat Arizona in the Holiday Bowl, Hickman came to the conclusion that he simply doesn’t feel like playing football anymore.

The passion was gone.
