Noah Igbinoghene CB auburn

No one is talking about this kid? Dude is a legit athlete freak. He's super explosive and was a former WR turned CB. He's got a stocky build at 5-11 200lbs. Super physical in press and great vs the run. Noah is still new to the position and learning anticipation on routes. And his footwork needs to be cleaned up. He's a guy with a real high ceiling and having a yr to learn under sherm would be amazing for him. He can serve as our new return man next yr as well.

Noah Igbinoghene CB for Auburn is not being talked about enough, only 20 years old and played offense as a freshman. Shows patience in press with a good understanding of leverage and timing to make a play on the ball here vs Van Jefferson (crafty route runner) pic.twitter.com/ng0jYmKWv7

Bottom of the screen Vs Devonta Smith (ignore the flag). Good eye discipline, feet, and UOH to maintain very good leverage while squeezing Smith to the sideline not allowing him to stack pic.twitter.com/k5rLHn190l

Only a couple plays into Auburn CB Noah Igbinoghene. Love the fact he's a speed demon who can also tackle. Solid wrap up here#WNSFilm pic.twitter.com/WKDMEeM5Pf

Just wrapped up w/Auburn CB Noah Igbinoghene for Talking w/TD. Discussed the 1st 2 plays in this video. Great job squeezing WR to the sideline. Pattern matching on the next one. The 3rd, 4th play show good footwork. Only 2 yrs at CB. Then the KR for 96 yd TD at the end. #Titans pic.twitter.com/27oaljdbx6

I have zero idea why Igbinoghene isn't getting talked about like a top five CB. pic.twitter.com/8hsZDZTFTN

In his first start, Iggy had two crucial EZ pass breakups.

He carried this fighting through the ball trait throughout his career. If you catch a contested pass against him, you definitely earned it. pic.twitter.com/S4qekglSCw

Did some research on him the other day. Haven't had a chance to view the tape so it's all just informational impression right now. General gist is he's a high upside player who is a project but has the traits to become a good pro if he continues to refine his skills at the position. At first impression, seems like a 3rd-4th round guy.

Kid reminds me of Bradley Roby. Athletic freak that converted to CB. Didn't watch him a lot college season, but when I did watch Auburn, he did stand out flying all over the field.

Far and away my favorite corner in the class. Aggressive, willing tackler, natural coverage skills in both man and zone. And all that after playing the position for only two years. Kid is a stud and I would be absolutely thrilled if we took him at 31 or traded back into the early 2nd and snagged him then.

Right on...I read about him on Walter Football's draft prospects. They rate him #7 CB in this draft...so, yeah, curious why he's not getting more coverage. The gist of WF's analysis is he was Auburn's best CB against very tough competition, and at this point is a better athlete than player but his ceiling's absurd. I'd bet he's on the Niner radar, as he should be.

I don't like his technique at all. Never looks for the ball in the games I watched. But his athleticism would be very much utilized in this defense.

I mean he's only been playing CB for two yrs. he's raw BUT has shown he can play, dude needs some coaching.

Imo he's not a day 1 starter. He'd been a kick returner and get to learn from sherm for a yr.
