Ikegwuonu

He’s been waiting for the swelling to go down after getting hurt in January. It’s hard to imagine Ikegwuonu being drafted higher than the seventh round.

The 6'1/199-pound college corner is viewed as a potential free safety at the next level. He started 29 games in three years for the Badgers and picked off six passes, but past off-field issues could cost him a spot in the first two rounds. Ikegwuonu was charged with felony burglary as a sophomore.

Apparently it’s not a good year to be in the NFL Draft. There have also been a ton of injuries at the Senior Bowl. Ikegwuonu, a college corner moving to safety, blew out the knee while pulling a sled designed to improve speed. At best, he could hope to go in the seventh round and be stashed on I.R. in ’08.

For some reason, Pasquarelli is all over this story, even though a healthy Ikegwuonu was only going to be a borderline first-day pick. The injury was originally reported as a torn MCL, ACL, and damaged kneecap. Ikegwuonu will have surgery in the next two weeks and is highly unlikely to be drafted.

Ikegwuonu is still facing felony residential burglary and misdemeanor criminal trespass charges after allegedly stealing a video game console at Northern Illinois.

Ikegwuonu is charged in a November 2006 home invasion while visiting his brother at Northern Illinois. Prosecutors say Ikegwuonu and his brother broke into a townhouse and were trying to steal an Xbox. The trial shouldn’t affect Ikegwuonu’s chances of being the Eagles’ fourth cornerback this season. He’ll also avoid NFL discipline because the incident happened in college.

Ikegwuonu, who testified on his own behalf, is accused of breaking into a town home and trying to steal an Xbox. Ikegwuonu should find out fate his shortly. He’s expected to add depth to the bottom of the Eagles defensive backfield this season.

Ikegwuonu was accused of breaking into a town home and trying to steal an X-Box while in college at Wisconsin. The Eagles reportedly love Ikegwuonu’s talent, so he may have a chance to contribute as a dime corner and special teamer this season.

Ellis Hobbs and Jack Ikegwuonu are going to give him a push, but Brown was arguably the Eagles’ top pure cover man last season. Still, with so much depth the Eagles could give Brown more breathers, limiting his statistics.

It’s a little bit of a surprise. Ikegwuonu was a first-round talent that had knee problems, was taken in the fourth round and then had some minor legal problems that proved to be nothing. He’ll almost certainly get some interest from other teams like the Bears.
