Rex Burkhead NFL Draft Bio

Rex Burkhead (born July 2, 1990) is an American football running back for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League. Burkhead played in college at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Burkhead attended Plano Senior High School in Plano, Texas. As a senior he rushed for 1,762 yards and 28 touchdowns, leading Plano to a state semifinal appearance in the Texas 5-A football playoffs along with quarterback Carson Meger. He also played on the 2006 5-A Texas state championship basketball team as a freshman.

As a freshman in 2009, Burkhead played in nine games, rushing for 346 yards on 81 carries with three touchdowns. As a sophomore in 2010, Burkhead was second on the depth chart behind senior Roy Helu. Burkhead played in all 14 games as the backup, and rushed for 951 yards on 172 carries and seven touchdowns. In 2011, Burkhead took over as the starting running back as a junior. Nebraska had little experience at running back that season, and Burkhead got the majority of the carries, including a school record 38 carries against the Iowa Hawkeyes. He ended up rushing for 1,357 yards on 284 carries with 15 touchdowns and was named a first team All-Big Ten selection. In 2012, with expectations high, Burkhead sprained his knee in the season opener and missed 2 games before re-injuring the knee 4 games later. Burkhead missed 6 games total in the season, but still finished with 5 TDs and 675 yards on just 98 carries for a 6.9 yard-per-carry average.

He was considered the 9th or 10th best running back prospect for the 2013 NFL Draft in the top 150 overall.
