Pro football reference’s Iowa alumni page has Hyde, Josh Jackson, Shaun Prater, Jordan Bernstine, and Greg Maybin as their cbs.  I’m assuming most corners are listed as DBs instead since those guys are all recent.

The only impressive name on the DB list is Bob Sanders though.  Charles Godfrey was solid for a couple years. Maybe they don’t have everyone listed on PFR, you have other examples ?

Your missing the point, not that they are all pros, but that they come into the league and start and play for a long time.  They are so well coached at Iowa that NFL coaches trust them to do their job.  Tyler Fn Sash was starting for the NYG before his injury for Pete's sake.  Iowa DBs come into the league and play.  They may change positions, but they play.  Credit needs to go to Phil Parker for really producing a db factory from a school you dont expect it for the last 20 years.  Iowa is known for its OL prospects, but when you look, since Ferentz has been there, they have been in the top 10 of schools producing NFL draftees, at a wide variety of positions, not just on the OL

Yeah,  we had Sean Considine for a while and he was pretty bad aside from from his iq and fundamentals. Just looking at the alumni list, they are producing plenty of db talent as of late.

I just didn’t like Hyde or Poyer as corners. Seems the transition from corner to safety has been much smoother the passed few years.

Not much better than Hue Jackson immediately going on a media tour to deflect any and all blame.

Saying he was supposed to be the CEO, not the HC. Says he also wanted to draft Mahomes, Watson etc. Didn't he trade those picks away? The guy is a laughing stock.

Ballard is a pretty good GM.

He's also getting rid of the ball much more quickly. The colts used to try to throw it deep more often so luck would have to hold the ball longer .. this year he's throwing it underneath more

Damn thought at least one team would have called Dez Bryant up this year.

The Patriots have gambled and profited from hiring "troubled" players in the past and if they won't accept his risk vs reward you know he's got some real problems.
