I learned my lesson after Lazard went undrafted. Regarding TJ, after his official 40 time, I moved him to the 4th round.
If you had followed the NFL for 20+ years, you might have noticed that there is more than 1 round. Also, in 100+ years of ISU having a football program, we've really only had the option to be excited about draft picks within the last 5 years. Tampa will be drafted, but i dont think it surprises anyone that he wasnt a first rounder. The last guy to be hyped as a first round pick was a first round pick to the Jets, literally last year. What frequency are you referring too?I've been following the Cyclones for 20+ years and more often than not people say how so-and-so is a sure thing draft pick. And then they don't get drafted. One example that comes to mind is Kirby Van der kamp. Obviously Lazard and most recently TJ Tampa.
I know every fan base is excited for their players, but does this happened to every fan base with the frequency it happens to Iowa State?
That depends if a team needs a Fair Catch Specialist or not.I’d laugh so hard if TJ happens to get picked over the golden child. I don’t think it will happen however
It even says in the article he wasn't expecting to get drafted. 1 or 2 punters a year get drafted total. It's laughable you think there was some kind of "hype" around Kirby getting drafted.Kirby Van Der Kamp gears up for NFL tryout

imagine linking an april fools thread and an article from the Iowa State Daily that states he wont get drafted, as evidence of overhyping. OP, you good?Kirby Van Der Kamp gears up for NFL tryout

Sukeyes are always over hyped by their
fan-boys (journalists )
I'm glad Kirby Van Der Kamp's name was brought up. It's such a cute name.
Once Blake Bortles got picked #3, Kirby looked down at his phone to make sure he had enough battery for the upcoming call.I want to meet these people that were hyping up Kirby Van der Kamp's draft stock and ask them what the **** they were thinking.
KXNO is not a barometer for national hype. Hell, it isn't even a good way to judge local hype.KXNO has covered Sandfort as an NBA lock more than they’ve covered Cyclones who were actually lottery picks and NBA All Star Starters.
Nope.Lazard wasn’t drafted? Is that true? That seems like forever ago I can’t even remember how it played out.

for all the ISU NBA success, none of them have been Iowans, sans Fred 30 years ago
