I gotta say that the Lynch Mob the d-line had in 03 was the sweetest celebration ever!

Wasn't the lynch mob in '05? I know they did it in '05 anyway...maybe '03, too...

James Jones played DL while at UNI - pretty sure anyway...

I'm pretty sure James Jones played LB at UNI. Note that he was one HUGE linebacker. Played DL in the NFL.

James played defensive end for three yrs. then middle linebacker at 287 #s as a Senior. Always will remember him running down Blase Bryant from behind at Iowa St.. He started as a true Freshman at 250 #s.

I believe James scored 3 different ways one yr. with the Ravens; Run, Pass, and a reception for touchdowns.

Still the highest draft pick from UNI. He was 3rd round but there weren't as many NFL teams back then.

James is certainly one of our best ever !

Re: Top 5 Favorite D-lineman?????

This is what I found on a bio about James Jones:

"Played every position along the defensive line during collegiate career, as well as making 11 starts at inside linebacker..."

...so he played on both the line and at linebacker.

The LynchMob started in 03 with Coach Inge and carried over until Hermann graduated I think... Gotta give love to Jack Mitchell as well

I thought Paup was a LB.

Re: Top 5 Favorite D-lineman?????

I thought Paup was a LB.

Mea culpa. I gues in the 3-4 they played, it looked like Paup was on the line a lot; or else he just got there quick.
