Tuesday video -- 'I haven't slammed any player to anybody since I've been here'

Derrell Johnson-Koulianos was never given a shot by 32 NFL teams. Today, the question was asked to Kirk Ferentz if he submarined the former Iowa wide receiver and career receptions and receiving yards record holder.

Ferentz denied any such comments to NFL scouts. Johnson-Koulianos was arrested on drug-related charges last December and eventually pleaded guilty to marijuana possession. He was suspended or dismissed or just plain off the team for the Insight Bowl.

DJK wasn't invited to the NFL Combine. He wasn't selected in April's draft and he wasn't signed as a free agent. He hasn't been in any team's camp. Iowa has gotten around 90 percent of its players at least into camps in the last three or four years.

Here's the video (the line of questioning is from HawkeyeInsider's Rob Howe):

DJK stuff; going for it on fourth down; Scott Chandler (former Iowa TE who scored two TDs with the Buffalo Bills yesterday).

Injury to Dakota Getz; captains, Pittsburgh; Damon Bullock back to RB; D-line.

Kick coverage (pointed comments); QB contain (very pointed comments); WR Marvin McNutt; tight ends.

Pryor, Persa and mobile QBs; Christian Kirksey's rise (don't get crazy, kind of down-to-earth talk here but also some good stuff).

Tackling; Jackie Sherrill; spread offense; Brett Greenwood (he declined -- understandably -- to share an update); younger players in the game.

Spread; Tino Sunseri; Mike Hardy (still around and not hurt); non-conference schedule (interesting).

And here's the transcript:
