Nevada football: Top 10 Wolf Pack players of all time

10. Derek Kennard, OL 

Kennard came to Nevada from Edison High School (CA) and turned into a second-team All-Big Sky player as a sophomore before back-to-back first-team All-Big Sky nods as a junior and senior. He was named to the Division I-AA All-American team as an offensive tackle in 1983 and then selected in the third round (53rd overall) of the 1984 USFL Draft by the Los Angeles Express. Kennard became a second-team All-Pro (1992) and then a Super Bowl champion when he started Super Bowl XXX at center for the Dallas Cowboys with a severely separated shoulder. In 1996, Kennard was inducted into the Nevada Athletics Hall of Fame.
