Gronowski's One Shrine-ing Moment & Nebraska basketball's first loss
from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins
Why not one more win for the winningest quarterback in the history of college football? It was "One Shrine-ing Moment" for former South Dakota State and Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski on Tuesday. Playing in the Cowboys' indoor training camp stadium in Frisco, Texas — the same town Gronowski led the Jackrabbits to the school's only national championships in football — Gronowski earned the all-star game's Offensive MVP honor. Playing for just over a quarter, the 2023 FCS Walter Payton Award winner led two scoring drives, threw a couple nifty downfield darts, eluded multiple backfield defenders on an 18-yard first down scramble on 3rd-and-7, and threw down a vicious block for his running back on a touchdown. So, considering this was an event created to show off college players' talents against other NFL Draft prospects, what did this do for Gronowski's draft stock? What are his chances of even being drafted? How much did his year at Iowa — unremarkable stats, several "winning" moments, 10 touchdowns, seven interceptions for a 10-4 team — help or hurt his stock? Happy Hour's host pours through reviews of NFL analysts and looks back to remarks on Gronowski's strengths and weaknesses made by Happy Hour guests like former Hawkeye and NFL quarterback Chuck Long, plus Sanford Sports Academy football director and Gronowski family friend Kurtiss Riggs.
