2023 National Champs. What a ride

“Because you never know when the last one is” - Kyle Busch, last week Wow

"Having to climb up the ladder everywhere I've been and go through the hardships. But failure is what helps you succeed in the long run." From Williamsburg, to Iowa Western CC, to Iowa, and now the Steelers. It's an unusual path to the NFL, but it's the one Kaden Wetjen took.

Some dudes go to the draft Some host draft parties Some get drafted while they’re playing a round with the fellas Kaden Wetjen is already a legend

Ready to show out 💪 @WetjenKaden 📺 #NFLCombine on @nflnetwork

Everything else aside, an American goalie having the nickname “The Secretary of Defense” might be the coldest nickname of all time

Cal Raleigh, Bryan Woo, Josh Naylor and George Kirby are repping Seattle at the Super Bowl (via @adamraycomedy)

Iowa WR Kaden Wetjen has been cooking early on at @ShrineBowl If DBs didn’t get hands on him early it was over. Constant separation. Reminds me of how Efton Chism stood out at this even last year

Williamsburg alum Kaden Wetjen’s final career stats at Iowa: 🐤 2,744 All-Purpose Yards 🐤 9 Touchdowns 🐤 22.18 Yards Per Return Legend. #iahsfb 📸: Hawkeye Football

"It shows you to not overlook junior college guys." Kaden Wetjen lost in a JUCO National Championship to Diego Pavia. He bookends his college career by beating him, as a consensus All-American, and Pavia as a Heisman finalist

Thank you Harding football for the greatest 5 years of my life! Forever in debt to this program. AVO.
