Tomorrow morning is the Iowa Pro Day

Y28 : 3/19/2023 9:11 am
Last year Joe Schoen drafted Dane Belton of Iowa, and Giant's long snapper Casey Kreiter is also a former Hawkeye.

Iowa has 5 players that will be highly sought in this year's draft:

1. DE Lukas Van Ness
2. ILB Jack Campbell
3. TE Sam La Porta
4. CB Riley Moss
5. S Kaevon Merriweather

A case can be made for each being on the Giants draft board.

It will be interesting to see which members of the Giants staff will be attending. My guess? Quite a few, and keep in mind that the Iowa State Pro Day (with another 4-5 draftable players) is being held the following morning.

I have been banging the drum for Campbell since the end of the season

Moss had a very good week at Senior Bowl
A few

off the field notes on those players:

1. The Van Ness family are HUGE Chicago Bears fans. How much? Well Lukas younger sister is dating Bears TE Cole Kmet.

2. Campbell recently suffered a horrible tragedy. His grandfather traveled to Jack's bowl game, to witness his grandson's final college game. On the morning of the game, while walking in the hotel parking lot, he was hit by a shuttle van and killed. Campbell's parents decided it best not to inform Jack of what happened until after the game had ended. Hard to imagine such a family loss.
Really like LaPorta,

if's there in the 4th, I'd be all for drafting him.
I hope they all shit their pants, and fall in the rankings

Well yes, but if they all shit their pants, do you think John Mara would ever sign off on them?

Maybe, I just think there are so many good tight end prospects that someone is going to get pushed down.
