As the NFL Draft quickly approaches, one Hawkeye continues to slide down draft boards. When AJ Epenesa declared for the draft he was a consensus first-round pick with some having him going as high as top-10. Now, you will seldomly find AJ Epenesa located anywhere in the first round.
So, why the sudden change? It’s the same thing that happened to Desmond King, the disappointing combine numbers out-weighed the film.
AJ had an incredible career at Iowa and will go down in Iowa history as one of the best defensive linemen in school history. Epenesa came in with extraordinary expectations.
