Is Brock Purdy the new/next Tom Brady? Only time will tell
3) George Kittle (146th overall in 2017)

Super Bowl LVIII - San Francisco 49ers v Kansas City Chiefs
Iowa has a reputation as a "tight end factory" for the NFL. Starting from Jonathan Hayes and going all the way to Sam LaPorta, the Hawkeyes have had a reputation for creating, at worst, decent performers at the position.
However, none shine brighter than George Kittle. One of the first 10 draft picks of general manager John Lynch, he has since become a vital cog in coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, reaching two Super Bowls and being named an All-Pro and Bro Bowler multiple times - quite the resume for a fifth-round pick.

If he can change one moment in NFL history, it will be from the NFC Championship Game in January 2019. In that game, a highly controversial no-call cost the Saints what would have been Drew Brees' second Super Bowl visit, where he would have faced Tom Brady and the Patriots.
