Nate Stanley to return for senior year

You seem pretty worked up about this. All I said was Iowa is an NFL factory, and I'm not wrong.

Show me where I am wrong, you are correct iowa has placed a lot of players in the NFL, but only one at a skilled position other than TE.
That is why you can continue to produce NFL players, but struggle to win more than 8 to 9 games a year.
Look at your bowl game, Miss. State had great d lineman, and LB's, what did that get them but a loss. Their QB could not throw the ball at all, no RB stood out, no WR stood out.
Its one thing to have talent, but you have to have a difference maker at the RB, QB or WR to be a great team, Iowa has none of those and has not for quite a while.

So Akrum Wadley and CJ Beathard weren’t difference makers? Derp.

Are they difference makers in the NFL dumb ****? Wadley is not on a roster, and Beathard is a life long backup at best. Keep spreading the Iowa has unbelievable talent BS all you want, but do it on an Iowa board. Both were fine college players, neither was an All American anything.
 
Saw that Desmond King made 1st Team All Pro by the AP. Hell of an honor for him. Bet a lot of teams are kicking themselves for not selecting him sooner.

That senior year at Iowa clearly helped sharpen his skills for the next level. His next contract is going to be massive.
 
A. Nelson going pro. This one isn't a shock but still sucks. Was hoping to see him in there with AJE again next year.

Heck of an accomplishment.

He is the one that wants to be an orthopedic doc someday correct? During the bowl game I seem to remember a coach being quoted as saying "If he is the doctor in the room I would trust him because he studies and prepares incredibly well." or something akin to that. Seems like a great student athlete and is making a good decision. He can't really go wrong if he has the skill set to get drafted well, and if he doesn't he has a great plan b. From the 3-4 games I watched he is ready for the League.

He's a beast, will be interesting to see how he does at the next level. He wasn't blowing by OTs as much as he was blowing through them. NFL tackles are a different animal. But at 6'7 he'll turn a lot of heads. Time for Golston to step up for us opposite AJE next year.
 
I thought it was the other Nelson who was going to be a doctor but I could be wrong
