Fight for Iowa Podcast - Hawkeye Football Great Karl Noonan

Karl Noonan was one of college football’s top receivers during his time at Iowa, earning All-America honors in 1964 after a record-setting season with the Hawkeyes. After going undrafted in 1966, Noonan signed with the expansion Miami Dolphins and went on to spend his entire professional career in Miami, becoming an AFL All-Star and eventually playing under Hall of Fame coach Don Shula. On this edition of the Fight for Iowa Podcast, Noonan joins Gary Dolphin to look back on his journey from Davenport Assumption to the University of Iowa and the Miami Dolphins, including the unusual condition he put on his first professional contract — a deal Noonan remembers as the beginning of the no-cut contract. It’s a conversation about Hawkeye football in the 1960s, the early days of the Dolphins and a football career that began with Noonan idolizing Iowa great Paul Krause.
