Nile Kinnick: Iowa’s football legend. 🖤💛 From 1937–1939, Nile Kinnick was a threat as a runner, passer, punter, returner and defender for the Hawkeyes (hawkeyefootball). In 1939, Nile played 402 of 420 possible minutes and scored or assisted on 107 of Iowa’s 130 points — a season that earned him the Heisman Trophy. His legacy lives on at Kinnick Stadium and the College Football Hall of Fame.
