Auburn, CB, Noah Igbinoghene

Noah Igbinoghene is an explosive talent coming out of the University of Auburn. He is even more interesting than trying to pronounce his name brings on. Igbinoghene has a knack for the ball and seeing the entire field with the focus on the WR.

He has aggressive physicality that allows him to challenge receivers at the focal point of the catch. His low center of gravity makes for sharp and crisp changes of pace. He is just as good off the ball and he is on the ball.

One of the biggest downsides to the cornerback is that he is raw only having played two years at the cornerback position. His footwork also could use some work, and his off coverage eyes could use being put on a swivel.

However, for the NFL, Igbinoghene likes to tackle up high and will need to bring his target aim down. That brings out yellow flags that Igbinoghene tends to see often. All in all, he is a quality cornerback that could prove a vital part of the New Orleans Saints’ defense.
