I do agree that Bibbs wasn't good enough to get drafted. He had too many flaws. Lacked speed, height, blocking ability, and wasn't that good of a route runner either.
However, if he had gone to OU, we don't know how much better he might have been developed either. I think if he had played a couple years at OU, he would have been good enough to get drafted.
It is not a good sign though that Iowa State is becoming known as a place where your football career goes to die. We aren't a stepping stone to the NFL. Quite the contrary.
Not sure if it would have made a difference. Not sure how good Bibbs' work ethic was. That is usually the difference.
Dallas Clark is from my area of the state. Knew his father. His father said that Dallas was not the best athlete of his sons. Derrick played for Iowa State. But his father said that Dallas Clark was definitely the hardest worker of his sons. That makes all the difference.
