...a former Iowa Hawkeye QB has started a regular season NFL game since (month/day/year)?

Gotta be since Matt Rodgers, right?
 


To my knowledge Matt Rodgers didn't get a start in the NFL, in fact I don't think he ever took a regular season snap.

Chuck Long is the last Iowa QB to get a start.
 


I'm searching and think it must be Mark Vlasic on December 15th 1991 vs 49ers.

Per wikipedia:

The highlight of Vlasic's season was a matchup on December 8 against his old team, the Chargers. After replacing DeBerg in the second half with the Chiefs down by 14 points, Vlasic completed 12 of 18 passes for 150 yards and a touchdown as the Chiefs beat the Chargers in overtime, 20–17, and giving the Chiefs a playoff berth in the process.[33] As a result of this performance, Vlasic was given the start for next week's game against the San Francisco 49ers. However, he sprained his knee in the second quarter, and did not play the final regular season game.[

I remember Chuck Long's first NFL pass.....

Chuck Long of the Detroit Lions threw a 34 yard TD pass to Leonard Thompson on his first NFL pass on November 23, 1986.
