From article:

McNutt was even more inconsistent as a receiver. He had one catch for 5 yards in three preseason games and seemingly dropped as many passes as he caught in practice.

Feel sorry to the Kid. Really thought he would excel in the NFL.

Ditto here - really thought he had a chance to make it.

Do we have any skill position players other than Greene even in the league right now? Kinda sad to have over 30 alum in the NFL and only 1 skilled player if so.

I don't think we do but I think Tevaun Smith has the potential to make it. He certainly has the measurables.

I'm not sure how many of the TE's are currently active besides CJF, but I'm pretty sure Myers is on a roster somewhere. I don't think Moeaki is right now.

Chandler for the Bills

I consider WR/RB/QB as skilled positions myself. I guess if you wonder why the Hawks have developed a lot of NFL talent and sometimes our record doesn't show it look no further than our lack of explosive playmakers. I think Mark Vlasic is the last Iowa QB to take a regular season snap in the NFL? tm you're to young to even remember him so that says a lot about our QBs.

 

[Hawknick]

The Eagles are stupid. The Bears should sign him as the 3rd receiver. What a great trio that woukd be for the next Super Bowl Champions.

Scott Chandler

Don't forget Allen Reisner for the Vikings.

Speaking of Chandler, he was involved in an altercation during practice. Here's a link with a video:

Tight ends are definitely skill position players, especially in today's NFL. But QB's, running backs and wideouts have definitely been few and far between.

Jimmy Graham and Julius Thomas I'll give you as Skilled

 

[Hawknick]

No Vlasic was not the last. Dan McGwire had nfl snaps 2 years after Vlasic. So at least he was later. The Chiefs should have played Stanzi but they are stupid too.

Speaking of Stanzi, he is 3rd string on Jacksonsville.

McGwire was a San Diego State Aztec.

 

[Hawknick]

He also played for Iowa in college.

Just so we're clear, the Eagles didn't cut McNutt again this season, but they did last season.

The Carolina Panthers are the team that cut McNutt this time around.

I love McNutt as he's one of the Hawkeye greats in my mind, and I am very grateful for everything he did for the program, but the guy just can't get off of the line. He gets jammed way too easily by physical corners, so he's pretty much non-existent in the passing game most of the time.
