Dane Belton brings Iowa-style physicality and ball production
Belton was a heat-seeking, versatile Iowa defensive back whose 2021 season stood out with 46 tackles and 5 interceptions, a ball-hawking mark that tied for second nationally that year[13][2]. He also flashed real pop in testing — a 4.43-second 40 at roughly 205 pounds — which helps explain why evaluators liked his burst, closing speed, and special-teams value[10][12][13]. If you want a safety who plays with edge, attacks the football, and fits a defense that values toughness and versatility, he’s a strong fit.
