Hard to see any way these Top Iowa Players will be back in 2020?
6. Detroit Lions — A.J. Epenesa, edge, Iowa
The Lions opened the checkbook for Trey Flowers last offseason, but they have struggled to consistently pressure the quarterback this season, ranking in the bottom five in team sacks. While not a speed demon off the edge, Epenesa owns the heavy hands and savvy to win in multiple ways as a rusher.
7. Arizona Cardinals — Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa
With a pair of tight ends drafted in the first-round last year, Iowa did something never before done in the NFL. Yet the program has never produced multiple top-10 draft picks, although that has a chance to change in April. Wirfs rarely loses his balance and stays sound with his hand tactics to handle edge rushers.
Alabama has a 10-2 season and will have a lot of First Round talent to replenish in 2020 per The Athletic article I read.
