  07/10/19 - TE Nate WietingrSr/2020, Iowa

  Through four seasons at Iowa, Nate Wieting has more surgical scars (four) than passes caught (three). He's watched Henry Krieger-Coble, George Kittle, Noah Fant and T.J. Hockenson go from Hawkeye tight end to the NFL. Wieting learned from all of them while recuperating from one surgery or another. It's Wieting's turn now, and he has a message for all the fretting Hawkeye fans out there: It's going to be OK.

"I still think we have a lot coming back. And I think the guys in the room can show that we can be really good at the tight end position," Wieting said Tuesday. "Sometimes, you take a look back, see what you've overcome ... I'm excited to get after it and show what I can do, try to help the team win some games." Wieting arrived in Iowa City from his Illinois home as a walk-on in 2015. He weighed 220 pounds. He marveled at Krieger-Coble's footwork. He got schooled by defensive end Drew Ott. He hurt his foot so badly that he needed offseason surgery.

"I've been working on how I run routes and then I've also been working on my speed with our workouts and our conditioning. You've got to approach every rep like it's a 100-meter dash - that's how you get faster. I think I'm a very athletic player and I think with practice and fundamentals, you can compete." - Iowa City Press-Citizen

It's going to be interesting to see some of the Road Grades that Scouts give Wieting during the season. We are starting him right outside the Draft for now.
