Itâs like this: There are 20 former Iowa Hawkeyes on NFL active rosters
as of Monday morning. Fourteen of them are interior linemen, counting
deep snapper Casey Kreiter of the Denver Broncos.
Nine (I count Kreiter among them) are offensive linemen. Five are
defensive linemen. Then you have three linebackers, two tight ends and a
defensive back.
There used to be more DBs, but Bradley Fletcher and Charles Godfrey
recently ended NFL careers of seven and nine years, respectively.fairly
long NFL careers.
That Iowa has no former quarterback, running back or wide receiver on an
active roster is, well, whatever you want to make it. Former Hawkeye
quarterback Jake Rudock is on the Detroit Lionsâ practice squad. Ricky
Stanzi never threw a pass in an NFL regular-season game, but is without
an NFL team for the first time since being a Kansas City Chiefsâ
fifth-round draft pick in 2011. Stanzi was employed by five NFL teams,
three of which had him on the practice squad only.
Stanzi tried out for the New Orleans Saints a week ago but wasnât signed.
Here is the breakdown of Big Ten players and players from Iowa colleges
on NFL rosters:
Ohio State 37, Penn State 29, Wisconsin 25, Michigan State 23, Nebraska
22, Iowa 20, Michigan 18, Rutgers 14, Maryland 13, Illinois 12, Purdue
11, Indiana 9, Northwestern 8, Minnesota 8.
Northern Iowa has six and Iowa State four.
Here are the 20 ex-Hawkeyes on NFL rosters, the three on practice
squads, and the one on injured reserve. If I have any omissions (things
change quickly in that league), please let me know and Iâll update this.
