#6-Joel Iyiegbuniwe (ILB, Fourth Round, No. 115)

When Joel Iyiegbuniwe’s name was called in the fourth round, the pronunciation of his name was just as difficult as finding his college film.

The Western Kentucky linebacker flashed excellent speed and burst in his tape, but hasn’t had the opportunities to demonstrate his abilities due to his spot on the depth chart. Iyiebuniwe only had 23 snaps to showcase his talents, with most of his other appearances coming on special teams.

Joel registered just nine tackles in the regular season but has been fortunate enough to learn from one of the best linebacking rooms in the NFL.

With more opportunities presumed next season, Iyiebuniwe has a chance to gain invaluable experience as well as make some standout plays.
