At least it hasn't yet… is the belief that Iowa plays great “team defense“ but they are challenged athletically.
Hell sometimes our own fans foster this thought, especially with our walk-ons…
Yet defensive player after defensive player whether they are five stars or a walk on goes on to run pretty terrific combine & Pro day times… Dane Belton at 4.43, Koerner at 4.51. I guarantee you Merriweather is faster than that. Our linebackers always have solid 40 times & pro agility times and yet still to this day 80% of the scouting articles suggest we are sound, well coached “limited athletes“!!
I just read an article by a Bucs board that said he has really good athleticism, but 10 days ago he was “limited”
It really does get old!
