Karl Noonan was one of college football's top receivers during his time at Iowa, earning All-America honors in 1964 after a record-setting season with the Hawkeyes.After going undrafted in 1966, Noonan signed with the expansion Miami Dolphins and went on to spend his entire professional career in Miami, becoming an AFL All-Star and eventually playing under Hall of Fame coach Don Shula.On this edition of the Fight for Iowa Podcast, Noonan joins Gary Dolphin to look back on his journey from Davenport Assumption to the University of Iowa and the Miami Dolphins, including the unusual condition he put on his first professional contract — a deal Noonan remembers as the beginning of the no-cut contract.It's a conversation about Hawkeye football in the 1960s, the early days of the Dolphins and a football career that began with Noonan idolizing Iowa great Paul Krause.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we are joined by Hawkeye Insider/247Sports reporter Elliot Clough, who shares his path from running track (including walking on at Iowa Central and UNI) and doing campus media to a grind through freelance writing, play-by-play, radio DJ work, and multiple layoffs before landing full-time at 247. They discuss balancing fandom and objectivity in sports media, then shift to Iowa football as fall camp begins: quarterback play, wide receiver improvements (including Tony Diaz), offensive line configuration questions (especially at center), portal impact players like Diaz, LJ Phillips, and Tyler Brown, and a hot take that Cam Buffington could become Iowa's second-best defensive player.
