Surprised reserve
drafted by Raiders
Monte Johnson may just be coming out of a shock that hit
him about 4 p.m. Tuesday.
That's about the time Johnson remembers being told that
he had been selected by the Oakland Raiders in the second
round of the National Football League's annual draft of
college seniors.
"Tom Grimes of the Raiders called me around 4 p.m. and
when he gave me the news I was so shocked I almost fell
over," Johnson said.
Johnson's reaction to the news stems from the fact that he
did not start a game during his three years at Nebraska. Even
though he played well and often, being chosen in the second
round draft doesn't happen to reserve tackles.
"I had hopes of going somewhere in the first seven rounds,
or at least sometime during the first day of selections, but I
never expected this," he said.
A native of Bloomington, Minn., Johnson said his selection
Tuesday made up for the frustrations he has felt during the
past three years while trying to crack the starting NU line-up.
"Not starting really hurt psychologically, but all the hard
work I've put into college ball has finally paid off," Johnson
said.

Three-year reserve tackle Monte Johnson . . . was shocked when drafted by Oakland
in the second round.
Nebraska's basketball record
fell to 1-3 in the Big Eight
Conference Tuesday night
when they lost a league contest
to Iowa State, 81-60. The
Cyclones never trailed as they
upped their Big Eight mark to
4-2. Senior guard Tony Riehl
led the Husker scoring with 12
points.

Oakland told him that he would be tried at the linebacker
and defensive end positions during drills at a special rookie
camp in March, Johnson said. Although he prefers defensive
end, the 6-6, 240 pound senior, said he was confident of
adjusting to linebacker.
Because of his high draft selection, Johnson has decided to
use a Lincoln attorney to help him with contract negotiations,
something he had not planned on doing if he was drafted in
the seventh round.

Remember all the arguments last fall over who was the best
center in the Big Eight? Many thought Tom Brahaney of
Oklahoma deserved top honors while others voted for Doug
Dumler of Nebraska.
Well, the question may have been answered when New
England head coach Chuck Fairbanks selected Dumler ahead
of Brahaney in the fifth round of the draft.
Fairbank's was Brahaney's coach last year at Oklahoma.
