‘Epenesa was widely thought to be a first-round talent. He put up big numbers in three years with the Hawkeyes, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors as a junior last year after finishing with 49 tackles, including 14.5 for loss, 11.5 sacks and four forced fumbles. That followed up a sophomore season in which he finished with 37 tackles, including a team-leading 16.5 for loss, 10.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.’
