Five Most Famous Athletes Born In Iowa

[LuteHawk]

Here is my list
:
Caitlin Clark ( Des Moines)
Roger Craig ( Davenport) 3 time Super Bowl Champion
Bob Feller ( Van Meter) MLB Hall of Fame
Dan Gable (Waterloo) U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame
Nile Kinnick ( Adel)

They are listed alphabetically. You can share your list with us.

Good list. Randy Duncan should be on there someplace.

Tough to beat that list. I'd maybe swap out Kurt Warner for Roger Craig. Maybe not. I don't know, tough call. Add Shawn Johnson and Zach Johnson as honorable mention.

Perhaps you should divide it by eras.

Tough to leave off Kurt Warner and Shawn Johnson. Didn’t Zach Johnson win the Masters once?

He's won two majors - Masters & British Open

I think if you're going by most famous instead of most accomplished, I don't see how Feller, Craig, and Kinnick make the list today. Even Gable is slipping due to time and relevence since he last wrestled/coached.

Not saying they aren't Iowa athlete legends, but not famous anymore.

Caitlin Clark
Kurt Warner
Dan Gable
Zach Johnson
Shawn Johnson

Agreed. You can’t take anybody off that list.

Probably need a list of 8-10 before “ that’s a bit of a stretch “ comes into play.

Feller and Kinnick are obvious.
