the only thing that confuses me is why he was picked up in the 3rd round. I'd would have had him as a top 10 pick. Shit if in these days and ages he'd definatly been a top 10 pick

@Mr420woo I'm guessing that Lawrence Phillips being such a bust had a lot to do with it.

dude ahman owns! shame he sucks ass now though lol

[oviedol55]

I wouldn't say he sucks ass now, he's just beat to shit. He'll still get 4 or 5 yards a pop when he's healthy, but he can't ever manage to stay healthy.

Sucks, too. I think with a couple more 1,000-yard seasons he'd be a legit hall of fame candidate.

I beleive he did win a heisman. maybe not but hes def better than lawrence philips.

[oviedol55]

Nah he didn't win one. He was kind of in Ricky Williams' shadow in the Big XII in terms of running backs. Ended up dropping to the third round of the 1998 Draft for whatever unknown reason (had a great career, but I think Lawrence Phillips and the lack of success by NU backs in the recent years affected is stock).

[husat77]

I love his no BS style of running. Head to the line where the hole should be, keep it straight or make one cut and just go. Perfect angles, no wasted movement, no loss of momentum and already trucking at the point where the linebackers hope to meet him.

in my opinion lawrence phillips was better than ahman green. he had better agility. but green had a better NFL career. but it dont matter for me cuz phillips was better in college

[Blackhawk5656]

just met him at a local bar and he signed autographs. hes a pretty damn nice dude

[76alexct]

wouldve won the heisman if he stayed his final year

@moffo0101 i am a huge ahman green fan, but im not going to lie to myself, philips WAS better at nebraska than green, not in the pros, but at nebraska

what speed

[Sirscorps]

.............Of course it was because of that huge blunder & a bad team that Braatz & Infante were fired after the '91 season (Braatz was fired w/a few games left in the season) & Bob Harlan hired ron Wolf who hired Mike Holmgren & then traded a 1st round pick for Favre & then signed White, Sean Jones, etc.....

/It's too bad Wolf was a failure @ drafting in the 1st round during his stay in GB.

//Still can't believe Holmgren traded Green for CB/Fred Vinson....every great rb fumbles.

@GhettoSupaHero

Yes, but as we all know it takes more than talent to make it in the nfl. It also helps being in the right scheme. Ex., in the '89 draft, GB Coach Lindy Infante, really wanted Barry Sanders. Not only cos he was a once in a decade rb, but also cos he would've fit his offensive scheme MUCH better than Darrell Thompson & Brent Fullwood did. As we all know, GM Tom Braatz chose a OT who couldn't pass block, who was on roids & who was a headcase instead......

@GhettoSupaHero

Ahman was younger than Phillips.

@Mr420woo

Neb. (& option backs) had had a long history of great backs being busts in the nfl (mike rozier, jarvis redwine, lawrence phillips, johnny rodgers, i.m. hipp, calvin jones, etc...), just like wr's from florida & rb's from penn. st. Scouts also thought that Green was more of a "straight-ahead" runner, in the mold of LeShon Johnson & Darrell Thompson, who were also great college rb's but busts in the nfl. That's why Green fell in the draft even though he had sub 4.3 speed, etc...

[bulldawg015]

Packers should have kept him
