The Iowa football team has 36 players currently playing in the NFL. Here are the top five hawkeyes currently in the league.

Take a look at these five former Iowa football standouts that have been performing at a high level since joining the big league. From leading the league in receiving yards to cementing a legacy as one of the best offensive linemen to step foot on the turf, these guys all mean business and all are proving their talents year in and year out.

Over the years we have witnessed some great talent come out of Iowa City and become some of the best players in the NFL. Chad Greenway, Bob Sanders, Paul Krause, Andre Tippett, and Tim Dwight are just a few.

The string of Iowa football talent doesn’t stop there. In fact, every year Iowa produces talented athletes all over the field because Head Coach Kirk Ferentz knows what it takes to produce these type of athletes year in and year out.

With 36 players in the NFL currently, which five have separated themselves from the pack?
