ESPN Top 100 NFL Draft Prospects high on two Iowa football OL

Yahoo Sports

Two Iowa football offensive linemen have come in ranked in ESPN's top 100 NFL draft prospects as we get ready to hear their names called.

The NFL draft is nearly here, which means the Iowa Hawkeyes will be seeing more talent shipped off to the league, where they will be playing on Sundays this fall. This once again figures to be another year where Iowa owns the middle rounds of this draft with quality, starting material players who can also provide instant depth. Two of the Hawkeyes destined to hear their names called come from the offensive line, a group Iowa has become known for developing.

In ESPN's ranking of the top 100 draft prospects as the draft approaches, Gennings Dunker and Logan Jones are among those. Coming in at No. 79 is Gennings Dunker, who has NFL teams salivating with his height, weight, toughness, and ability to transition to the next level.

Height: 6-5 | Weight: 319 | 40 time: 5. 18 Of Dunker's 38 college starts, 37 came at right tackle. But some scouts feel he will flourish at guard in the NFL because of his play strength, especially in the running game.

Dunker did not allow a pressure that resulted in a sack last season. - Jeff Legwold, ESPN Continuing down the list, Iowa sees center Logan Jones ranked as the No. 96 prospect.
