The wait, the legendary wait, was longer than Matt Roth had anticipated. The former Willowbrook star who became an All-America defensive end at Iowa was picked by some to be chosen in the first 25 picks. Instead, he went to Miami at No. 46. “It felt like I was waiting for a week,” said Roth, who watched the draft at the west suburban home of his parents’ Tom and Kelly. Roth played his last college game against Dolphins coach Nick Saban, who was then at LSU. Iowa defeated LSU 30-25. “I felt I had a pretty good game,” he said. It’s nice to be knowing where I am going and that someone wants me.”
