Iowa football: Hawks who could play for a local AAF team

The American Alliance of Football League debuted this past weekend, and to most, it was considered a huge success. Television ratings were high, and Twitter was buzzing for days following the games. Not only did football fans love being able to just watch football, but fans loved the pace of the game, the greater transparency into refereeing calls, and the lack of rules designed to protect the quarterback.

Then I saw a Twitter user pose an interesting question: Would the AAF be successful in Iowa?

That really got me thinking because one of the beauties of the AAF is that they do try to focus a bit on regions when selecting players.
