Nebraska’s old-school, power-running fullback who made the most of his touches
In the 2003 season, Steve Kriewald was a bruising, efficient Nebraska back, averaging 5.2 yards per carry on 19 attempts for 99 rushing yards, and his game was built on leverage, toughness, and sneaky receiving value out of the backfield[9]. In the 2001 season, he added 95 rushing yards on 18 carries and scored once, showing he could contribute even in a crowded Nebraska offense[10][11]. He also had real trust from the staff, eventually earning a starting fullback role and a reputation for sneaking into space as a receiver, which makes him a fit for teams that want a physical, team-first, quietly dangerous downhill weapon[6][15].
