Joseph Noteboom started at TCU a year after it joined the Big 12. He redshirted his first year in 2013, a season in which the Frogs didn’t make a bowl game.
But Noteboom went to a bowl game in every year in which he played the past four seasons. He and the rest of his teammates expect to contend and win more times than not.
That’s why Noteboom and his other teammates who were selected in last week’s NFL Draft are excited to join contenders. Noteboom and linebacker Travin Howard are going to the Los Angeles Rams, while offensive lineman Matt Pryor is headed to the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
