Ryan Poles has been tasked with rebuilding the Chicago Bears, and he took a major step in doing that during the 2024 NFL Draft. However, outside of the first round picks, he also made the intriguing decision of taking Iowa Hawkeyes punter Tory Taylor in the fourth round. While making an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Poles explained the team’s decision to draft Taylor where they did. “I didn’t expect him to get much further,” Ryan Poles said. “Definitely didn’t think I’d be able to pick him up when we got to the fifth round, and really the thought process there is to make anyone we’re play...

Coaches use different strategies when it comes to the transfer portal. Some schools choose to go all-in on the portal and make it a big part of their roster makeup, while others choose to only use the portal sparsely, if at all. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz recently shared his plan after Iowa wrapped up spring practice ahead of the 2024 season. “Yea, I mean, we’ll do anything we can to help our team, you know,” Kirk Ferentz said. “So we’ll be looking at that and studying it and if there’s an opportunity that presents itself, that makes sense, we’ll consider it. We plan to do that every year.” ...

After selecting one of college football’s most popular players in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears are clearing room on the roster.
