Iowa football: Grading each Hawkeye rookie’s performance

After going 8-5 and winning the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, the Iowa football team had to say good-bye to a few players as they departed for the NFL. All in all, three former Hawks heard their names called during the NFL draft and a few others signed on with teams as undrafted free agents.

At the conclusion of the 2018 NFL season, a grand total of five Iowa football players from the 2017 Pinstripe Bowl Championship team saw game action in the NFL.

Here is how they did.

Daniels left the Hawks after his junior season and was expected to be a day one starter.
