Question is....

What former hawkeye has the most games played in the NFL.

I don't even know where to start to do research, but I have an idea who it is.

Here's a list of all the players that played, although there is no further info.

Reggie Roby played in 238 games, Paul Krause played in 223. Those are the top 2 as far as I could tell.

Just an FYI - Roby is rated the #12 punter in the history of the NFL. He averaged 43.3 yrds a punt and his long was 77 yards.

Figuring a 16 game schedule (which wasn't always the case), that would be 15 years in the NFL for Roby. I'd say he's the best bet.

Excellent find DDiction! I've been on the site before to look at individual players, but I didn't realize it had that sort of search capability.

Thank you all, I was wrong ...but Roby did come up in the conversation.
