WATCH: Ihmir Smith-Marsette becomes first Iowa WR to score NFL touchdown since 2007 (247sports.com)Iowa's WR's and TE's may not make huge stats in college, but they do get prepped for the NFL. Iowa has pumped out a number of NFL TE's including a kid who was from Omaha. I was listening to the NFL game last night, and the Vikings had a rookie WR from Iowa catch a TD pass. Keagan will probably be underutilized at Iowa, but he will probably play for a winning team, and put himself in position to play in the NFL after a few years. I don't know if the same can be said about playing at Nebraska.
Yes, the headline writes itself labeling Iowa as WR-U.. 1 catch for 7 yards on the season. His season looks so very similar to Justin Jefferson's 2020 rookie year. Iowa is where skill players go to die in the 120th ranked offense in all of college football. You can gloss that up all you want with a 7 yard fluke TD grab yesterday if it makes you feel pretty, but the rest of the world isn't holding their breaths to see what WR are coming up out of Iowa City.
