Iowa football: Five Hawkeyes who should get a shot at the XFL

Every year the NFL Draft comes and I anxiously await for some of my favorite Iowa football players from the previous year to get drafted.

And they don’t.

And some of them don’t even get signed to a UDFA contract, which really confuses me. Then there are the guys that do get a shot but don’t last despite good performances in a limited amount of work. Guys like Matt VandeBerg, Akrum Wadley, LeShun Daniels come to mind specifically.

I won’t pretend to be better than NFL scouts, but I’m not sure what exactly they are looking for sometimes.
