## Resource

Chad Leistikow and Scott Dochterman break down an eventful weekend for Iowa Football. 🏈 Historic NFL Draft for Iowa The Hawkeyes send 7 players to the NFL Draft + 6 UDFA signings, the most in the 7-round era—highlighting elite development under Kirk Ferentz and a program that’s as healthy as ever. 📈 Is This One of Iowa’s Best Teams Ever? Does the 2025 squad get underrated? The guys debate how this team stacks up historically—and whether it could hang with past Ferentz-era teams. ⚔️ Quarterback Battle Breakdown Hank Brown vs. Jeremy Hecklinski is very real. What matters more—stats or “feel”? And who actually gives Iowa the best chance to win? 🎯 Spring Ball Takeaways • Wide receiver room shows real upside (if they stay healthy) • Secondary looks strong with young talent emerging • Defensive line raises major concerns heading into the season 🔥 Pressure on the Offense All eyes are on OC Tim Lester to: • Pick the right QB • Develop a real passing attack • Maximize one of Iowa’s most intriguing skill groups in years 📊 Big Ten Fan Survey Tease Do fans trust their programs? Has the Big Ten passed the SEC? And why does everyone hate Michigan? Plus: NFL Draft stories, roster outlook, and why Iowa might be building toward something even bigger in 2027.
