Iowa was the only program to have three defensive linemen selected in the 2011 NFL Dra, and all three were on NFL rosters in 2011.
In NFL 2011 regular season stascs, former Hawkeye linebackers Chad Greenway (Minnesota) and Pat Angerer (Indianapolis) nished
third and fourth, respecvely, in tackles.
Former Hawkeyes Marshal Yanda (Balmore OL) and Chad Greenway (Minnesota LB) were named to the Pro Bowl for the rst me in
their respecve NFL careers.
Three former Hawkeyes were involved in the 2012 Super Bowl. DB Tyler Sash played for the Super Bowl champion New York Giants,
while LB Je Tarpinian was on the injured reserve roster of the New England Patriots. Former Iowa center Brian Ferentz, now is his rst
year as Iowas oensive line coach, was New Englands ght ends coach.

Every Iowa senior starng ght end (nine) under Kirk Ferentz has been draed in the NFL or made an NFL team in his rst year as a rookie.
The Iowa football program was represented by 35 players on opening day NFL rosters in 2011. As many as eight addional former

BEST DECADE FOR IOWA FOOTBALL
Iowas football record in the 2000 decade was 80-45 (.640),
a record that ranks as the best decade in Iowa football history,
based on total wins. Iowa posted a record of 77-40-4 (.652) during
the 1980s and the Hawkeyes were 62-53-2 (.538) in the 1990s.
Part of the Hawkeye success is due to the stability in the pro-
gram, as Iowa has had just two head coaches since 1979. Hayden
Fry took over prior to the 1979 season and coached through the
1998 season, posng a record of 143-89-6. Current Coach Kirk
Ferentz replaced Fry, leading the program for the last 13-plus
seasons. Ferentz also served as Iowas oensive line coach from
1981-89 under Fry.
