Hawkeye heat-seeking missile at linebacker
In the 2009 season, Pat Angerer was the engine of Iowa’s defense, posting 145 tackles and earning first-team All-America honors while helping the Hawkeyes finish 11-2 and win the Orange Bowl. He’s the kind of linebacker you care about because he plays with relentless intensity, exceptional instincts, and a nose for the football; he also brings proven production in coverage and as a tackler, with 6 interceptions and 11.5 tackles for loss in his Iowa career. Injury issues did affect him earlier in college and later in the pros, but his tape screams leader, tone-setter, and instant-impact defender.
