Initial Thoughts
Fleming looks pretty good running with the ball in hands and I think he'll get a shot at receiver and cornerback as he mentioned on twitter. With his size though--6'0", 175 lbs--he's probably better suited for defense. Iowa typically doesn't use the small and speedy slot receiver type. With his running ability he's got a decent chance of playing early, especially on special teams.
