Allen Lazard was the first Cyclone to score a touchdown in the NFL playoffs in 35 years

And trivia; who was the ISU tight end that caught a pass in 1981 for a touchdown in an NFL playoff game?
His 40 time sure is not indicitive of his open field speed. He is outrunning some pretty fast dudes on the touchdown. Plus he makes tough contested catches.
40 time doesn't mean **** if you can't catch it or fight for that extra yard, or hold key block in the run game.
Allen has worked his ass off and A-Aron noticed and has rewarded him for it. Allen's toughness is what really sets him apart from a lot of his contemporaries.
Nice. I love Pat's takes on football. Especially when he's praising guys we love.
His combine speed wasn't even that bad, he was towards the middle and faster than some guys who have less size than him. His time was treated as a positive when he ran it.
I never had an NFL team before and I'm fully on the Packers bandwagon since Lazard started catching passes last year. First time I've ever claimed "a team" well into middle age.
Honestly the 15 years I lived in Chicago surrounded by insane delusional Bears fans had me leaning Packers already just because I liked watching their fantasy smack into reality. Bears fans are more delusional than Nebraska fans. I could probably cheer for the Bears now, only because I'm away from the fans.
It was good. Pat's hilarious.
They have a hawk fan on their staff and he asked if Allen ever regretted going to ISU over Iowa. Allen said, "Never."
Couple things:
- Lazard's touchdown hit the Over and ya boy made $30.
- Pretty sure "Lizard King" is also Sammy Watkins' nickname.

Oh yeah, he ran like a 4.55 or something. Quick for a guy his size. However, he outran those little D-backs. That was impressive.
I'm a life long Bears fans and I'm on the Packwagon for AL. Hope he gets a SB Championship ring and a TD in the game.

Loved seeing Rodgers "crowning" Allen after the TD. High praise indeed!
Dan Johnson would be a peer for my time at ISU—and I’m still drawing a blank. Someone refresh my memory, please?

As a Bears fan, it really helps to know that the bears were never a serious threat to the Packers this year, so I'm not caught up in rooting against them. I'm happy to see Lazard do well with GB and Rodgers, and although Lazard has earned what good is coming his way, he found a great fit that will help him sign another contract.
Hopefully Hakeem Butler gets another shot.
