Kurtiss Riggs on Gronowski, Bouman, Payton NFL landing spots, Kalen DeBoer's new Alabama deal, Terwilliger to Penn State & more

Why a 10-year streak of a player from South Dakota (native or college player) being drafted to the NFL end this year?   North Dakota State's Cole Payton played for only one season while South Dakota State/Iowa quarterback Mark Gronowski (5) and South Dakota's Aidan Bouman (3) played multiple seasons, both finishing among the best their school's history in both wins and production?   So, why was Payton drafted and not the other two?   Gronowski was invited to the NFL Combine out of South Dakota State last year, but not out of Iowa after this past season. Did playing for the Hawkeyes hurt his draft stock?   Payton was taken in the fifth round by the Philadelphia Eagles. Gronowski signed an undrafted free agent deal with the Miami Dolphins. Bouman was invited to the Green Bay Packers' mini-camp, which starts Thursday.   Which of those three is the best fit with their organization and has the best chance to make the 53-man roster?   How certain is Chase Mason to receive an NFL Combine invitation and be a Draft pick in 2027, barring injury or abysmal performance?   What should we make of NDSU hiring USD football's general manager?
