First FCS player taken in 2018 NFL draft is...

[Redbird 4th & short]

ISUr Davontae Harris taken by Bengals in 5th round ... he was corner in college, betting they move him to safety.

There is not nearly the level of what ndsu fans are. There aren’t a boom of Lions fans because of our player and I highly doubt there’s a boon of Cardinal fans in Iowa. I’ve lived in Sioux Falls when and after Zenner was drafted and now in Fargo after Wentz. I didn’t see any Lions fans that I talked to in Sioux Falls (all two of them) who weren’t Lions fans pre-Zenner. There might be a couple Zenner jerseys but those guys still wear their Vikings gear on Sundays. In Fargo where I work alone there’s a half dozen guys who are “Eagles” fans. There’s a difference in following a players career and completely becoming a fan of a team. Most college fans follow the player, the phenomenon I’m witnessing, in person, right now, is many NDSU fans becoming fans of the team. Your radio station talks with Eagles sportscasters almost weekly and Fargo has become a small market for the Eagles. That isn’t normal. You can deny it but it doesn’t make what I see with my own eyes any different. As to the “ND doesn’t have a sports team” thing there’s plenty of states like IA and SD who don’t have sports teams and don’t exhibit the same behaviors.

BTW, I never said it was a bad thing in any way, just that it’s unique. If you want to take it as an insult that’s not a me problem.

NDSU fans didn't become Eagles fans when Joe Mays was drafted there. It's different when it's 1. a quarterback, 2. the no. 2 pick in the draft, and 3. he's a ND kid. If a Pierre QB that went to SDSU was drafted as a franchise QB you would see SD people jump on what ever team he went to. Oklahoma became a market for the Rams when Bradford went there. Hawaii is a market for the Titans now that Mariotta is there.

Your telling us their aren't jacks fans following Zenner in the NFL or UNI fans following DJ or I could go on and on....

Saying NDSU fans are unique because they follow their former players is BS.

There are very few UNI fans that claim to be Card fans.

UNI has had something like 35 players in the NFL over the last 15 years. We’ve had Super Bowl MVPs, NFL OPOY, NFL DPOY, and so on. I think we have like 8-10 players in the league right now. We are jumping from team to team every time a player hits a roster.

Sort of related ... Many ISUr Redbird fans might just as well claim to be Cards fans ... today, the ESPN guy referred to ISUr Cardinals when talking about Davontae .. we get that once in a while .. very annoying.

A backfield of Chase Edmonds and DJ is going to be a force to reckon with.

Franchise QB is 100% different from RBs.
