Lindenberg Declares for NFL

Donate To GopherHole

He should.

If these guys don't get drafted, can they come back?
 







Anything in there about Bowl game plans? Guessing he opts out since he has dealt with injuries but curious if he indicated one way or the other.
 







He's projected as high as a 5th round pick right now but if he gets an invite to the combine or does well in a bowl game. I don't remember if he's been invited to any bowls. I think that when scouts get looking at him his stock will probably rise a bit to be as high as a 4th round pick. Right now he's being projected as a 6th to UDFA from what I can tell.

Hopefully he starts getting more attention or getting drafted might be pretty iffy. I definitely think he's the kind of player player that could be like Blake Cashman and be a 5th rd or so pick and turn out to have a good NFL career. But with these types of guys getting some sort of attention pre draft can make a huge difference.

That’s what we said about Sori-Marin but he was very easy to replace.

I disagree completely. You must not have watched the 2023 season. Also I don’t remember many saying he’d be hard to replace, but he absolutely was when Lindenberg was hurt.

Yeah I think he could’ve improved his stock with another year, but he has had injury issues so I understand the move.
 

Here's hoping he makes it to the NFL...
... but IMO he would have been better off collecting some additional NIL money and another year in the B1G.

Healthy and 5 years is probably the prime situation. 6 would be cutting into NFL career IMO.

Sori-Marin was not 1st team all-Big Ten. First team all-Big Ten in an 18-team power conference is incredibly impressive. Cody will be missed.

I think if he had another season and stayed healthy he could easily get into the 3rd round.

Kind of a no brainer for Lindenberg, if he is projected to be drafted.

I think the NFL has a consultant to help college players with eligibility decide on whether or not to declare for the draft. It's still up to the player and there's no guarantee that someone will get drafted even if the NFL consultant thinks they will, but it's probably a reasonable assessment.

Yeah, he has a good chance to get drafted might be 6th or 7th though. I just don't think he's getting as much attention as he probably should at this point. I think he's probably solidly worth a 5th but with injury concerns projecting can be pretty hard for these mid to late rd guys.

They talk to scouts. Saw where an Iowa DT is coming back because scouts said he was a day 3 pick. "That was all I had to hear." was his quote.

He has come back from injury twice and played full seasons.

Hurt in 2021 and played all 13 games in 2022
Hurt in 2022 Bowl game and in lingered for 2023. Only played 4 games.
Played all 12 games this year.

I'm sure they take extra caution knowing an NFL career is on the line,
