2025 NFL Combine: Iowa Results
A breakdown of Iowa's participants and their numbers at the 2025 NFL Combine.
Would be amazing to have all eight get drafted, even though it probably won’t happen. Has Iowa ever had that many drafted in one season?
The most I can remember is 2010 with 6. Claiborne Moeki Stanzi and 3 I'm not recalling off hamd.
The six hawks drafted in 2010 were, Bryan Bulaga, Pat Angerer, Amari Spievey, Tony Moeaki, AJ Edds and Kyle Calloway. Those guys were a lot of fun to watch when they were healthy.
Helluva draft class.
I think Stanzi and Clayborn were drafted in the '11 class. (I could be wrong on this though)
Pretty crazy numbers.
The last sentence was cut off, which is this: accounted for 40% of Iowa's offensive yardage, #2 most in class

14 Hawkeyes participated in Iowa's Pro Day on Monday. All 32 NFL teams were represented in Iowa City.
Here is a look at how some of the Hawkeyes performed at the Hansen Football Performance Center in front of NFL scouts:
Quinn Schulte participated in every drill had an impressive 38-inch vertical jump. That would have put him in the upper-third of safeties at the combine. He reported a 9-foot-9 broad jump and 15 reps on the bench press. That is coincidentally the same broad jump measurement that teammate Sebastian Castro had in Indianapolis.
Luke Lachey did the 40-yard dash in Iowa City after choosing not to participate in the drill at during his visit to the combine. He had a 4.77, which would have put him in the middle-third of combine participants. Lachey also reported a 4.16-second 20-yard shuttle time. That was a significant improvement from his 4.47-second shuttle time at the combine.
Jay Higgins had a 4.14-second 20-yard shuttle on Monday — a significant improvement from his 4.35 seconds at the combine. His improved metric would have led all linebackers if it happened in Indianapolis. Higgins also had 20 bench press reps on Monday.
Nick Jackson ran a 4.65-second 40-yard dash. That would have been a bit below average at the combine. Jackson had a 1.50-second 10-yard split, 34.5-inch vertical jump, nine-foot-5 broad jump and 16 bench press reps. He reported a particularly impressive 3.99-second 20-yard shuttle run and “high 6.8” in the three-cone drill.
Tyler Elsbury had a 5.15-second 40-yard dash, 4.6-second shuttle run, 7.63-second three-cone drill and 30.5-inch vertical.
Deontae Craig “did everything” at Iowa’s pro day as he wanted to “showcase that I’m adaptable.” He opted not to share his numbers publicly. “I don’t want to throw out specifics just because I don’t want to incriminate myself with the scouts in case they listen to this,” Craig said. “But I came in with some goals, and I feel like I met a lot of them.”
The numbers from Iowa’s pro day come with some caveats. The event is not open to media, so reported numbers/measurements are at the discretion of each athlete. Several of the former Hawkeyes did not participate in media interviews afterward.

How former Iowa players performed at Hawkeyes’ 2025 pro day

I loved the interaction with Rhule before, during and after the game.
His combine numbers be more of a credit to the strength and conditioning team (and the nutrition people).
His on-field play, yes, Barnett would be a huge part of it, of course. I do suppose you were being half-hearted at the Barnett jab people.
I thought the majority of the Hawks kind of tanked at the combine. Not trying to be a troll. I don’t think any of them had very good numbers in terms of the rating scale that the scouts use to determine if you have the potential to be a starter. Hopefully KJ doesn’t fall too far in the draft.
Here's a really good site with all of the mock drafts. As you can see, NFL.com had him going #22 to the Chargers; the Athletic had him going #24 to @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset 's Minnesota Vikings.
Overall, he's projected as a 2nd rounder.

Colby graded out pretty f-ing good at the combine. Richman will also end up on roster this fall. Guaranteed.
I bet He gets drafted, Teams fall in love with athletic numbers and He is a rotational piece who could be a G or be the 2nd Center on a roster and Teams trust Iowa at OL . Colby and Jackson really helped Themselves too
Kalebs muscles have muscles. Lol
What a monster.
