2021 NFL Draft: Fallout for Iowa Hawkeyes top prospects
4. Chauncey Golston, defensive line
A senior out of Detroit, Chauncey Golston could have been one of the breakout edge players in college football for the 2020 season.
Unfortunately, we will not know if that would have happened or not.
Through three seasons with the Hawkeyes, Golston has proven himself capable of playing all around the defensive line, and he’s been productive. Over the past two seasons, Golston has racked up over 80 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks, two interceptions, and six batted passes.
At 6-foot-5, 275 pounds, Golston has the ideal size to be a base end if a team is looking for a 4-3 defensive end, but he also has the body type to grow a bit and play more of an inside-outside hybrid type of role that many NFL teams covet.
