A former Nebraska football player has been released from his NFL team. OLB Randy Gregory has been released by the Denver Broncos.
It’s a shocking move, considering the team just signed Gregory to a five-year deal worth up to $70 million in 2022. He only played ten games for the Broncos, and in that time, he recorded only 21 tackles and three sacks.
Gregory played for Nebraska during the 2013 and 2014 season. In 24 games as a Husker, he recorded 120 total tackles, 29.0 tackles for loss, and had 17.5 sacks.
He was a two-time All-Big Ten first-team member and a third-team All-American in 2014. The Jacksonville native would be selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL draft by the Dallas Cowboys.
He would play for Dallas from 2015-2021 before leaving for Denver in 2022. Find a photo gallery of Randy Gregory’s college career below.
