Iowa centers do well in Chi-town. Mike Reilly, Joel Hilgenberg.

 

[Gonzo Bloor]

Mark Bortz approves.

 

[VicHawkeye]

Jay Hilgenberg too I believe.

Congrats to James! First Iowa guy in awhile to join Da Bears.

 

[bloodredd]

Dang. I'll bet if he knew that the Bears were gonna draft him he woulda stayed in school

 

[yrunvs]

Da Bears.

 

[percyland]

Daniels highlights they showed were all pretty much him pounding Nebraska.

 

[bloodredd]

Da Bears.

I believe they changed it to "Duh Bears" around 1986.....

 

[kcgolfer]

Would rather have seen him go to a decent organization.

Daniels gets emotional after receiving call from Chicago
Iowa center James Daniels can't hide his emotions when he finds out the Bears are picking him.

He is an Iowa OL picked in the draft. Makes good recruiting material

That right there made me cry a little bit...what a fantastic kid and representative of the Iowa program. Go kill it at the next level James! Congratulations and well-deserved!

Mike Reilly was a linebacker

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

Mike Reilly was a linebacker

.....and Joel Hilgenberg never played for the Bears.

But otherwise, everything he said was exactly right.

Casey Weigmann would have worked. Jay, not Joel.

 

[HerkysDad]

Jay Hilgenberg too I believe.

Sorry I meant Jay. Was halfway through a bottle of wine watching the draft on TV.
