Hawkeyes Take Flight in Detroit!
There are currently two former Iowa Hawkeyes flying the Honolulu blue and silver for the Detroit Lions:
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
- Sam LaPorta (TE): This superstar tight end took the NFL by storm in his rookie year, shattering records and making highlight reels left and right. We're talking about a machine, folks. A touchdown-catching, yards-gaining, highlight-reeling MACHINE.
- Jack Campbell (LB): A tackling force at Iowa, Campbell brings his hard-hitting ways to the Lions' defense. Look for him flying around the field, making quarterbacks wish they'd stayed in bed that morning.
Is a Hawkeye Takeover Imminent?
While two Hawkeyes are a good start, is this the dawn of a full-fledged Hawkeye invasion of Detroit? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Lions do have a knack for drafting talented players, and there are plenty of other fantastic athletes out there.
That being said, if Iowa keeps churning out NFL-caliber talent, you never know. Maybe someday we'll see a whole flock of Hawkeyes soaring over Ford Field!
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Important Side Note: Here's to hoping the Lions have a good stock of black and gold jerseys, because these Hawkeye fans are ready to cheer on their boys in Detroit!
How Many Iowa Hawkeyes Will Play for the Lions in the Future?
That, my friends, is the million-dollar question (or perhaps a twenty-dollar question, considering the state of the economy). It all depends on the draft, free agency, and the whims of the football gods. But one thing's for sure: Iowa fans will be watching the Lions with a newfound interest!
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
