Iowa fans will always remember how dominant running back Kaleb Johnson was during the 2024 season.

KJ was the only semblance of offense for the Hawkeyes that season, as multiple injuries and inconsistencies plagued the quarterback room.

The Hawkeyes were down to fourth-string quarterback Jackson Stratton at one point, but that didn't stop Johnson from having a record-breaking season.

During the 2024 season, Johnson tallied 1,537 rushing yards and a school-record 21 rushing touchdowns, leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to select him with the No. 83 overall pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
