Epenesa (94) strips the ball from Mississippi State quarterback Nick Fitzgerald (7) causing a fumble during the first half of the Outback Bowl NCAA college football game, in Tampa, Fla. Iowa junior A.J. Epenesa knows that he has a strong shot at being picked in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft should he choose to go pro next spring. He’s just choosing not to think about it until then. Epenesa, a 6-foot-6, 280-pound defensive end who led the Big Ten with 10.5 sacks a year ago despite coming off the bench, is poised for a monster season in 2019. (AP Photo/Chris O'Meara, File)
