Nebraska legend Ameer Abdullah is lacing up his cleats for another NFL season. The former Cornhuskers star signed a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, continuing a professional journey that began over a decade ago.

Abdullah spent the 2025 season with the Indianapolis Colts, where he appeared in 13 games primarily as a kick return specialist. He tallied 563 kick return yards—an impressive average of 29.6 yards per return—with a season-long 81-yard dash that showcased the explosive speed fans remember from his college days.

The veteran running back brings a wealth of experience to Jacksonville's backfield, especially valuable following the departure of Travis Etienne. Abdullah's versatility as both a runner and returner makes him a key addition for the Jaguars' special teams and depth chart.

For Nebraska faithful, Abdullah's legacy remains untouchable. From 2011 to 2014, he amassed 4,588 rushing yards and 62 touchdowns, adding 73 receptions for 690 yards through the air. His career all-purpose yards totaled an eye-popping 7,086, with 48 total touchdowns—numbers that cemented his place among Husker greats.

That collegiate success translated into a durable NFL career spanning stops with the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers, and Las Vegas Raiders. Now entering his 12th season, Abdullah continues to be a proud ambassador for the Nebraska program, proving that Husker grit translates to the professional level.

Football fans and gear enthusiasts alike can celebrate this milestone—whether you're rocking vintage Nebraska threads or Jaguars swag, Abdullah's journey is a reminder of the power of perseverance and the deep roots of college football.
