Damn, held out hope he would be back. Not surprised, but I wonder where he’ll end up in the draft.
Yes he has. The only thing that keeps him from being drafted is injuries. Just my opinion.
Unsure if he gets drafted, but Iowa had a TE some 10-15 years ago that was hurt often, got a look with the chiefs and had a 3-5 year NFL stop I believe.
Tony Moeiaki. He finished with the Seahawks. Tony was a better TE than All, in my opinion.
That’s a fair question. Even with as talented as he is, I could see NFL teams being hesitant to pull the trigger on using a draft pick for a player who has missed a majority of the past two football seasons due to injury.
If I'm not mistaken, ALL was Iowa reception leader with 21 for 299 yards and 3 TD's.
Looked around and shows him as the #14 TE in the draft on this site. Now he may be higher somewhere else.

Probably round 5-6. Great blocker, very good receiver and good wheels. Someone will take a flyer on him. Go get him Packers!
There is such a thing as data analysis where you can use existing numbers to project future probabilies. Let's see, Eric ALL with Iowa 21 receptions for 300 yards and a 14 ypercatch avg and that is 1/2 of a year and I dont think he caught a ball in the first game. His 2021 Mich season was very good on a team that ran the ball a lot and had very good receivers.
He would be projected to have 40+ catches for 550 yards with a full Iowa season.
And just thing of his stats if we had a really good OLIne and QB play for the year. Maybe 60 catches, 5 per game.
I would say he is pro material but depends on his recovery
| REC | YDS | AVG | TD | LNG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 10.0 | 0 | 10 |
| 12 | 82 | 6.8 | 0 | 27 |
| 38 | 437 | 11.5 | 2 | 47 |
| 3 | 36 | 12.0 | 0 | 22 |
| 21 | 299 | 14.2 | 3 | 34 |
Sure, BUT thats a big "only thing". Remember he's coming off a pretty bad back injury requiring surgery before he ever got to Iowa. And now the ACL. I get him wanting to move on, but IF he played another year at Iowa and had a great year, he could still be a first day guy. As it is I'd be surprised if he's not in round 4 or 5. (Well it worked out for Kittle). I'm sure the uncertainty around the offense, and whether Cade will actually make it through a season didn't help his decision.
It is a big thing. But I’m sure he didn’t make the decision without being consulted by those that would give him good information, namely this staff. All is an NFL TE and there is no doubt in my mind about that.
If All doesn’t care where he gets drafted and just that he gets drafted and/or gets a shot, then he is making a good decision. He might not be able to survive another injury and may not want to risk it another year in college.
Just in reading his announcement, I believe he is a kid that has fully thought his decision out and came to the conclusion that he needs to enter the draft.
Moeiaki had all the talent to be a star if he stayed healthy.
Unfortunately he could hurt himself going to get the mail.
Iowa. Just like no one cared that Russel Wilson spent 4 years at NC State before a 1 year stop at Wisconsin.
Sorry I didn't feel he was the best TE in our room he was OK but for an Iowa TE meh
I think he is a low-draft pick because of the injuries. Somebody will take a chance on him in the late rounds. He is quite talented and would be a steal in the lower rounds, IMO.
