5 Cornerbacks who provide second-round value for Philadelphia Eagles
Former Auburn Tigers standout Noah Igbinoghene may have made a name for himself at the NFL Combine (even if his name is one that’s difficult to pronounce).
He’s small. He’s only five-foot-ten, and he weighs in at 198 pounds, which means he’s two inches shorter than Michael Vick, and he sports a similar frame. Still, anyone who racks up 67 total tackles,18 pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 39 career games while playing in the SEC is going to get a look or two from quite a few NFL franchises.
Philly’s struggled to force turnovers over the past few seasons, and Igbinoghene won’t help that. He only has one interception on his collegiate resume, but any scouting report will tell you that he’s naturally aggressive and has a motor that won’t quit.
In Indianapolis, he posted some nice numbers, including a 4.48-second 40-yard dash, a 37-inch vertical, and a 128-inch broad jump. He’s getting both second and third-round grades from pro scouts.
