Howe: Ranking the Top Linebackers of the Kirk Ferentz Era

I wouldn't put Morris on the list. Watching him on film and in person, he was a slow read and really didn't have a handle on the position. He did make a lot of tackles, but he got the most opportunities, because teams went at him. Not a coincidence that he was the Mike on the 4 worst Iowa teams of the last 10 years.

Hitchens should be much higher imo. Always thought he was a little underrated while at Iowa. I think his 5 year $45 million contract proves it. Kirksey is also making about $9 million a year.
