A final note on Ellis Hobbs’ retirement | ProFootballTalk

 

[isufan]

Best of luck to Ellis and I hope he comes out of this injury ok.

 

[cysocool]

Pollard should hire him to the athletic department. Maybe the best Iowa State football player ever- next to Matt Blair.

 

[RayShimley]

Best of luck in whatever your next endeavor is E. Hobbs III! You have always been a great ambassador for ISU.

 

[ISUAgronomist]

Caplan notes Hobbs, always ready with a quote, could have a career in broadcasting if he wants it.

That or coaching.

 

[Clonegrad07]

Bummer about Ellis. Hope he lands somewhere that he can still be the face of ISU.

 

[driegner]

I hope, if he wants, that we find him a job here at ISU. Nothing better than having our guys come back and keep making an impact. He was great in college and the NFL, and now he has a chance to continue making an impact in the sport similar to when Hoiberg retired for health reasons.

Either way, best of luck to Ellis!

 

[LindenCy]

Hate to see him have to retire, but glad he is taking care of himself. I wish him the best!

 

[CYCLNST8]

One of my all time favorite Cyclones. Find a way to bring him back to Ames, Jamie.

 

[tm3308]

It's really too bad. I always really liked watching Hobbs play.

 

[Al_4_State]

Good to see him taking care of himself. It'll be interesting to see if he gets back in coaching. He's a guy I'd love to see back in Ames.

 

[isubeatle]

anyone know if this is the type of injury that will cause him pain the rest of his life? i sure hope not.

Wish him the best of luck, one of my all time favs as well.

 

[EddieISU]

Always be one of my favorite Cyclones. Loved his passion for the game.

 

[burn587]

We need to sign him up as a grad assisstant. Then whenever Wally retires we can shuffle around Bobby Elliott to linebackers and make Ellis the DB's coach.

Loved Ellis. One of my all-time favorite Cyclone athletes. I'll never forget how crushed I was when he announced where he was from on MNF by mentioning his "DeLasalle High School" instead of ISU. I get it, and understand, but when he said ISU the next time instead of his high school I was so proud that the nation got to see that he was a Clone.

I wish him all the best, and hope that he comes back as a member of the staff in some way. I can only imagine how good he would be at interacting with recruits and players. He's a great man.

That is bad if he is reppin a high school he didn't attend :wink:

 

[jbindm]

Sorry to hear it, but he had a good run in the NFL. One of my favorite ISU football players, and it always tore me up having to root against him when he played for the Patriots.

 

[Erik4Cy]

Great player, much better person and ambassador for ISU! I'd love to see him back in Ames and helping Iowa State somehow.

 

[3GenClone]

Ellis was a guest at ESPN studios before the NFL season started and I remember him mentioning on Cowherd's show that his goal after retiring from the NFL was to become an animator at Disney. I don't know how talented he is, but that guy has so much passion that I'm sure he'll accomplish all of his goals.

 

[CTTB78]

If he doesn't end up at Disney, I hope we hire him and turn him loose in Texas recruiting for the 'up and coming Iowa State'. He would be a natural.
