Nebraska’s durable, ball-hawking corner with NFL grit
Bootle’s calling card was consistency and competitiveness: in the 2020 season, he started every game at cornerback for Nebraska and finished his Cornhuskers career with 26 pass breakups, which ranked ninth in school history at the time. He played with the kind of steady, physical, no-drama style coaches love—short on flash, big on reliability, and tough enough to stick in pro camp battles. If you want a corner who brings experience, discipline, and proven ball disruption, Bootle checks that box.
