Shaun Beyer has to be licking his chops right now. If he has a big game or two early in the year, with his (reported) athleticism, how Kittle is producing, and now these two going this high, he will have NFL eyes on him.
Uhhh, ya i dunno about that. It's gonna take more than a game or 2 for someone with 0 significant college plays to catch the NFL's eyes.
 
Think of how many TEs still affect NFL offenses compared to college teams. The fact Iowa still puts high value on the position, whereas 90 percent of teams have essentially phased it out, is pretty cool.

No, it'd take more than a game or two to keep their attention and be considered a prospect. But, getting their attention can happen awfully fast if you have the right tools and they're primed to see something in you.

90% is no where near accurate. Most of the big ten and sec all use the tight end significantly.

Ok, but there arent any nfl teams salivating over people who've never played after 2 games to start the year, besides a qb (and rarely even then)
 
We basically had a 1st round TE and 1st round WR in 2018. Which explains why our offense was so impressive.

Way to take the most obvious of times to be a Hawkeye fan and turn it into a negative. You sir get my shitty fan of the year award.
 
Holy shit, saying someone has a point is pissing all over iowa football?? Look at my posts in the tj and noah thread you jackwagon. Or go find a safe space where only awesome stuff is said.
My apologies. I thought you were being negative. The 2019 team is literally littered with NFL talent. What's your projection for the season?

He's got a point. 2 first round talents on offense and for way too many snaps there was only 1 on the field at a time.
And this is the first time you’ve thought of this? Look, not trying to be a dick, but this is CLEARLY not the day to be pointing this out for the first time.

So happy to see TWO of our players go in the first round, and one in the top 10 no less.

I hope they have really successful careers and represent the university well in the big leagues.
