NF's brother probably failed to become a big-time athlete so he's attempting to live vicariously through Noah. He probably hopes to get a portion of his NFL wages and be a clinger-onner once NF breaks into the NFL.

Ding ding ding.
Big brother can't handle little brother being bigger or better. Talks crap about the school that made him.
Classless and jealous.

These are the quotes that stand out to me.

The last one is the correct one.
I get family frustrations, but when you start tearing down the school that made you a 1st rounder, you might want to check the lip. Nebraska fan or not, that's stupid.

WTF on that last response??? I guess Hoah is already an NFL Hall of Fame caliber TE like Dallas Clark. What a dumb ass!

Looks like Willie's entire profile revolves around Noah. Maybe Willie should get his own identity. Or maybe he's just waiting for Noah to go pro so he can help "manage Noah's money".
Definitely an interesting topic of discussion, but maybe we should just let this one drop?
We all agree that Noah Fant is a great young man and teammate who has handled this as well as he can. Right now he is supporting his team, and it seems like he is all-in. But if Heaven-forbid he ever wanders onto this site (or Twitter, or other boards, etc.), and he sees fans of HIS TEAM trashing his family, and even taking a few veiled shots at him, that can't leave a good taste, can it?
He's a Hawk, and he has our full support. If we don't like what his family is saying, let's vent to our friends/family, not in the public space.
Or not, just a thought.

I disagree with that. I don't think KF is going to lie to an NFL scout/GM about one of his players. If a direct question is asked, he'll answer it. He won't rip the player but he'll speak candidly about it. As loyal as he is to his players, he has to remain loyal to all future players. If KF gets a reputation for glossing over his player's issues to NFL people, those NFL people will stop showing up to ask the questions. NFL people are worried about their pay checks too. If they draft players based on a coach's recommendation and it ends up biting them in the rear, they'll find other players to look at. KF would be stupid to try and cover for players in this situation. I don't think he's stupid.

Those were my sentiments when the comment was posted and remain the same today. Kirk is too classy to do that to a kid and why would he in the first place? More Iowa players in the NFL reflects better on him and his program
True.
I'm not bashing on his family, but jeez, do they take their kids to the doctor, then argue with the doctor?
Possible 1st round!!! At that point you just bow and give thanks. To God. To the Iowa program. To having such a wonderful and talented brother. Then you keep your mouth shut.

Or maybe it would drive him to tell his family to stop acting like entitled Real Housewives Of Atlanta.

George Kittle would probably beg to differ as well.

Tony Moeaki would get my vote for our best TE pass catching athlete ever, in the KF era.

+1 I was just about to post this. He had NFL HOF type talent if he could just stay healthy. Best blocking TE of the Ferentz era and is the reason why he played as a true frosh.
Every single program has families frustrated with their kids playing time. I'm sure Jones's family might be thinking he should be the starting LB. I'm sure 2 of the 3 RBs families think their kid should be getting more touches. On and on down the depth chart you go it is what it is. If coaches were to spend 10 seconds a day per kid worrying about that they'd never get anything done or make anybody happy. But because he's a potential 1st round pick it's just a more in the news sort of thing than who the backup right guard is and how their splitting reps.
When he was at his healthy best he was best two way TE as well. He was a punishing blocker. That got him on the field early and often. His pass catching was a bonus. We underutilized him in that regard I would say. He'd have a bigger gripe about that then Fant can ever say
He also shared the field with another NFL caliber TE most of his career too in Myers... (whom I'd compared to TJH quite a bit) KF and KOK have experience with using two TEs that are capable of doing damage in the passing game. BF was in NE with Gronk and they run two TEs a lot there too. We are always greedy for more more more. Impossible to make every one happy all the time. It just is.

Don't forget about Scott Chandler during Tony's freshman year as well. He had more than his cup of coffee with the Bills etc.
He sure did. Good call. He had a nice career too. I feel bad for CJF. He'd just signed like a 3-4 yr 10 mil or so contract for the Texans before he hung it up for concussions. Any player like Chandler that gets past their rookie contract and gets a 2nd or 3rd deal is fortunate in that league.
