The 3 TE look is my favorite thing in all of ISU sports in a long, long time.

Kittle is an incredible TE but beyond that, I can't think of any Hawkeyes who have had success in the NFL. Hockenson and Fant have both been busts. Am I missing anyone?
If you don't think ISU is currently TEU, RBU and probably QBU, then I don't know what to tell ya. I would probably throw in Kick Return U as well.
Hockenson has looked good at times but will also go long stretches of never getting the ball. I would say he's a bust for where he was picked at.
Fant has put up okay numbers, just not what you would want from a 20th overall pick.
I wouldn’t call either of them a bust.
Yanda was outstanding, a HOFer IMO.
Bulaga is really good.
Clayborn’s had a nice career.
Edit: crap you mean TEs only. Chandler stuck around.
I just remembered Dallas Clark from the 2000s. That guy was pretty dominant.
Yep. Dallas even moved back here I believe and does some farming. Seems like a good guy.
All of these guys had nice careers in the NFL (will soon include Hockenson and Fant)
Zeron Flemister
Dallas Clark
Scott Chandler
Tony Moeaki
Brandon Myers
CJ Fiedorowicz
George Kittle
And that doesn't even include the ones that had nice careers at Iowa with these guys:
Hockenson
Fant
Reisner
Krieger-Coble
Jake Duzey
Zeron Flemister
Dallas Clark
Scott Chandler
Tony Moeaki
Brandon Myers
CJ Fiedorowicz
George Kittle

It isn't my fault the Big12 is so bad this year. Your boy Sagarin says the Big12 is closer to being the Sun Belt East than it is to the Pac12 South.
Saying Moeaki had a nice career in the NFL is a stretch.
It’s still early, but right now Sagarin has this year‘s Big XII as the 3rd worst P5 conference in the history of the Sagarin ratings (which dates back to the 1998-99 season). The only two P5 conference seasons that have been worse since 1998 belong to the ACC - in the 2011-12 and 2019-20 seasons. The Big XII is historically bad this year.
No, Sagarin ratings are ****** up because half of the teams haven't played a game yet and losses to sunbelt teams didn't help. Did you know Sagarin ranks UNI higher than Tech (and NDSU)? The system is a joke right now.
Hence the “it’s still early” disclaimer. I know the FCS teams aren’t playing until the spring, but UNI and NDSU (and likely a handful of other FCS teams) are almost certainly better than Texas Tech this year.
Oh, and just an FYI, over all the years, usernames, and condescension you've had, you'd absolutely call someone an idiot for the NDSU thing. They have in fact played a game.
