Film Room Live: Iowa vs Iowa State

Saturday, September 10th, 2011
Riley Reiff NFL Draft Patriots

Riley Reiff is just one of the two potential 1st-Round offensive linemen in this game.

As we previewed earlier this week, the Iowa State vs Iowa game features a large amount of legitimate 2012 NFL Draft prospects. We ran the multitude of Hawkeye draft prospects through the film room process last week, but seeing them against some BCS level talent will be invaluable in evaluating them.

On the other hand, Iowa State makes up for a lack of quantity with the quality of their prospects. Mammoth (6-6/340) offensive lineman Kelechi Osomele may end up being a Top 20 NFL Draft prospect in 2012.

We’ll be updating the post throughout the game and after, as we go back and fill in some of the stuff we missed live.

Aaron Hernandez Patriots

There is a new #85 to be watching this year - although that Hernandez seems pretty decent too.

NEPD Staff Writer: Brian Delabarrera

It’s hard to believe that we’re already back here; with all the lockout drama this offseason, at times it felt like we may never see our teams hit the gridiron again.

But nevertheless, Week 1 is here and both the Patriots and the Dolphins are looking at a must-win game. The past few years, New England has seen relatively good regular-season performances sprinkled with post-season misadventures.
