Iowa OT Gennings Dunker Wins Praise For Flowing Red Mullet, Hopes To Hear His Name At NFL Draft

Gennings Dunker caught the eyes of many at the NFL combine with his flowing red mullet. The 22-year-old tackle out of Iowa had people calling his mullet the “best mullet the combine has ever seen,” as he was doing drills at the combine.

Dunker ran a 5.18 40-yard dash, but the analyst could not help but focus on his hair. Slowing down the replay of the run to show his mullet flowing. Dunker measured in at 6-foot-5 and 319 pounds.

Dunker was a part of the nation’s best offensive line, with Iowa taking home the 2025 Joe Moore award.

During an interview with the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt, Brandt compared Dunker’s vibe to that of actress Sydney Sweeney.

“Gennings Dunker, lineman from Iowa. This guy took over social media. Just a glorious, shiny, majestic mane, obviously conditioned right before. This guy’s hair is so good, you don’t even pay attention to his mustache or his tattoos,” Brandt added. “Or the fact that he’s actually really, really talented. The fact is, he’s got kind of a Sydney Sweeney thing going with his authentic talent there, distracted by the physical assets. I get it. Incredible. The high pants, the everything. Jennings, Dunker, great tackle out of Iowa.”

That got a smile out of Dunker as he almost certainly has never heard that comparison before. Brandt would later compare Dunker to Broncos All-Pro guard Quinn Meinerz.

Dunker hopes to hear his name called during the NFL draft, which begins on April 23 and will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
