I think people are thinking about one magical year where they had two good TEs.

2016 Iowa TEs

32 Receptions

389 yards

5 TDs

2017 was the year Fant was a stud

56 receptions

840 yards

14 TDs

So, it seems like Iowa had one good year where they had two very talented TEs.  Other than that, they don't seem to have had amazing years from the position.

I think it's more about getting them to the next level than college production. You have 2 2019 first-rounders, Kittle went early in the 5th in 2017 and has been a stud, Fiedorowicz went in the 3rd in 2014. They can sell the fact that they are churning out NFL TEs like nobody else, and I don't think most TEs are the type to need a ton of catches. The ones Iowa is after aren't afraid to do the dirty work blocking, I don't think they're looking for somewhere they'll be able to put up the best numbers.

Meanwhile, we haven't had a TE drafted since Tracey Wistrom. I had to look it up. Niles Paul was a WR for us, and Cethan Carter is hanging around in the league but was undrafted. We have a lot of things to offer, but a track record of developing TEs at Nebraska isn't one of them. This staff did help boost Jordan Akins stock at UCF though, and again there's more to it than "which schools have produced NFL TEs."

I’ll admit that TE is a strange position to recruit and look at going to the next level. There are guys like Fant that out up WR type numbers. Then there are guys that really don’t put up the numbers but are supposedly studs. 
 

So, I guess I have no friggen clue how to measure what TEs are studs or not.
