"Typically with IOWA players, we get character, work ethic, dedication and football intangibles...it runs deep in this program and it's preached to these players. The majority of players that you get out of this program are going to come into the NFL and not miss a beat. That's a tribute to Kirk Ferentz and his staff, to strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle and his staff, and to the players." - Scott Studwell (Director of College Scouting, Minnesota Vikings)
