During his time as Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz has had 70 players taken in the NFL Draft and that list will grow this week.
Several Hawkeyes are expected to be taken in the draft which begins Thursday night.
Tackle Tristan Wirfs and defensive end A.J. Epenesa are possible first round selections but Ferentz says this past Super Bowl showed you don’t have to be taken early to make an impact.
Iowa’s Pro Day was cancelled due to the COVID-19 shutdown and Ferentz says that may impact players who were not invited to the Scouting Combine.
Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley has been projected by many as a fifth round choice and says leading the Iowa offense for three years is a plus.
Stanley says spending three years as a starter has prepared him for the next challenge.
