Top NFL TEs (statistically) thus far ...

[ghostOfHomer777]

1) Kelce: 74 rec, 813 yards, 5 TDs
2) Hockenson: 80 rec, 786 yards, 5 TDs
3) Kittle: 50 rec, 735 yards, 5 TDs
4) LaPorta, 64 rec, 679 yards, 6 TDs

That's pretty absurd ... 3 of the top 4 TEs in the NFL are Hawkeyes! Not a surprise ... but it's definitely cool!

Too lazy to look it up. Did we offer Kelce?

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Is Fant still injured?

 

[GlenHawk]

Nope.

I think it's crazier that the four best TEs in the league were a 2-star and three 5.5, 3-star recruits.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Nope.

Thanks! Looks like another under recruited athlete. I can’t remember what Hock and LaPorta were rated but I’m guessing neither of them were 4 star kids. I know Kittle wasn’t. Great seeing guys like that showing out in the NFL.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

TEU!!!

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

How many rookie records has Sam set already this year? I bet it’s a lot.

All three Iowa guys were low 3-stars (5.5) on Rivals.

Kelce needs to f*** off so we can have all Iowa guys at the top.

Don’t worry Tay Tay will destroy him soon enough.

Gotta love, though, how this still seems to do nothing for recruiting because most top recruits still wanna go to the winningest schools that compete for national titles.

Odd how that is still the bigger factor in this day and age in the recruitment of gullible, stupid, and easily impressionable high school kids.............

It is extremely odd. Stupid high schoolers

Oddly enough, a lot of the time the parents are equally as stupid.

Kelce was a QB recruit, Imagine if Derby had seen the light while he was at Iowa.

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

Kittle with 735 receiving yards on only 50 receptions. Almost 15 yards-per-reception is a season number that's beyond elite for a tight end. He's a big gainer on pretty much every catch.

 

[Hawkeye Marching Band]

Kelce needs to f*** off so we can have all Iowa guys at the top.

He's #1 only in total yards. Hock is #1 in receptions, Kittle in ypc, and LaPorta in TDs.

Stage Mom’s and Dad's!🤪

Very good point

Guarantee he will get a breakup song when it’s over.

Look west near Counciltucky.

 

[hawksense]

Guarantee he will get a breakup song when it’s over.

Then he can find someone hot.

not to mention he blocks like a son of a gun

And that's without any of the Iowa tight ends dating Taylor Swift!!
