Random Question: Who's your all time favorite hawkeye

Timothy John Dwight Jr. (born July 13, 1975) is a former professional American football player who was a wide receiver and return specialist in the National Football League (NFL) for ten seasons. He played college football for the University of Iowa, and was a two-time All-American. He was originally drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round of the 1998 NFL Draft, and he played professionally for the Falcons, San Diego Chargers, New England Patriots, New York Jets and Oakland Raiders of the NFL

Dude was electrifying.

Because I love watching athletes run so smooth that it looks like they are riding a bicycle
 
Bob Sanders. I had the pleasure of going to school during his era and hung out with him a few times socially during and after his pro career. Man of few words. Never needed to talk. All action.

Matt Roth. Not only because he was such a bad ass on the field but because he was an odd dude.

Quick anecdote:

I lived in Hillcrest freshman year in fall 2002, the dorm where all the athletes live until they get apartments, and my buddies and I get on the elevator one night and there’s Matt Roth leaning against the back. We get in and think nothing of it, since we saw athletes every day. Standing with my back to him, I feel someone scratching my left shoulder. I turn to find Matt Roth picking away at my shoulder. Sensing that I wanted an explanation, he said, “You got, like, some dry jizz on your shoulder or something.” So I say... “so why you scratching it?” And he said, “I dunno.” The door opened and he got off the floor beneath us. My friends and I found it was dried detergent on my fleece (was still learning how to do my own laundry) but still to this day my friends occasionally ask if Matt Roth’s scraped any bodily fluids off my clothes lately. Joke will never get old.

Bobby Stoops, for all of the same reasons the younger people are voting for Bob Sanders.

He used to hit people so hard he would knock himself and the other guy out of the game. He was part of Hayden Fry’s first teams that turned around the program.

Favorite quote: “ man, that Stoops guy has been at Iowa forever! Is he ever going to graduate?” Is a quote from (I think) an opposing coach, who didn’t realize that Hayden let Mike and Mark wear the same #41.

Now, if you can vote for a coach, it’s gotta be Hayden Fry. “Scratch where it itches, even if it is on the seat of your pants!”

Heard a story from one of my buddies that hung out with some players back in 02. Apparently Roth was real ADHD, "shocker I know" Blake Larsen stole some of his Adderall and Roth worked him over pretty good.
 
I was friends with Nate. He was a grade below me at West. When he was a 14 year old freshman playing for my sophomore team, he hit a 35 yard walk off to beat City High. Kids been a winner all his life.

I was a freshman at CF when he was a senior and played soccer. I was on the fresh/soph team and we would scrimmage our varsity guys every day in practice. I used to get the crap beat out of me, physically, by those guys.

We rolled in to play West and I knew that Kaeding was going to kick at Iowa so I wanted to watch him. He wasn't a big guy but he took on, and out, all those huge guys that beat me everyday. He was an awesome player that was super skilled but didn't back down from a challenge.
