The Vikings literally had no punt returns last year. Only fair catches. That pissed off Zimmer. Kene will change that big time. Good pick for Minn.

Kene has unique speed for his size and his position, teams will gamble on that. Glad to see Kene go in the 4th round.

Wild that he went ahead of chuba Hubbard. Good for him!
The NFL is weird but glad that we are not the victim this time around. People that always get drafted ahead of ISU players leaves me shaking my head. I stopped watching the draft but glad we have a Cyclone get some respect. I wish Bailey would have been drafted because a lot of clowns that got drafted don’t even half the numbers he put up playing against good teams. There was a player from uni that got drafted and I’m like screw this. You look at Lazard and you would think these teams would start to respecting ISU, useless.

How many non ISU coaches or media called him the best returner in college football?

You guys can’t be serious. There are plenty of return men that flipped field position when given a crease.
Why do you think it requires people calling someone one of the best in order for them to be one of the best?

There are clearly people who are referred to as impressive for one reason or another who...aren’t. Or did you miss the ISU-Texas broadcast on ESPN last fall?

Lol, ok. I’m gonna bow out. I’m not going to get an honest discussion here and I’m not going to waste the space taking away from Kene.

Good move. Pro tip: when an Iowa State player gets drafted that should be celebrated. Especially given our history in the draft.

Luckily that's changing rapidly with Matt Campbell, and next year will be absolutely gangbusters. We COULD have like 6 guys drafted next season.

I don’t think anyone is not celebrating him getting drafted. It says a lot for the guy that he essentially was a career backup and still was talented enough and worked hard enough to make himself valuable enough to justify a fourth round pick on him.

Here’s your “honest discussion”. Is 11th in the country “one of the best”, especially when it includes guys at lower than P5 levels?

I’ll leave it at that. Kene is good.

I think you could pretty well argue one of the top. Definitely could not argue he’s the best.

It's a little ridiculous to argue his place as "one of the best" KR in CFB. Nobody will win and it'll just go round & round...

But, the NFL Network crew called him "Absolutely Special" as a kick returner.

I'll defer to their analysis...

Love that he's up high enough that they are investing in him.

I just looked the estimate up on contract value and signing bonus: $4,232,798 , SB $752,798

Good for him....sticking it out, believing in himself/the team, encouraging Breece, etc.
