Official Bio

Strengths:
Nice size and bulk...Very tough, strong and physical..Is quick to react gets a great break on the ball...Excellent instincts and awareness...Reliable tackler..Will deliver the big hit...Excels at getting a jam at the line...Uses his hands well...Athletic with good change of direction....Will come up to support the run...Has some versatility.
Weaknesses:
Doesn't have great timed speed or quickness...Lacks a burst to recover...Hips are not fluid and he will struggle to turn and run with pro wideouts...Is too aggressive at times and takes a lot of risks...Struggles to match up in off-man coverage...Ran into trouble off the field and character's a concern..Has some major health issues.
Notes:
Last name is pronounced "ike-uh-GWAH-new"..Also being looked at as a potential safety...Twin brother Bill played defensive back at Northern Illinois...In January of '08 during pre-draft training he suffered a catastrophic knee injury that included a dislocation, a torn ACL, and a partially torn MCL...Was arrested with his brother in November of '06 and charged with residential burglary and criminal trespass after allegedly breaking into an apartment and trying to steal an Xbox...He profiles as a zone corner at the next level..Could've been a 2nd or 3rd round pick at one point but with the legal troubles and his availability for the '08 season still up in the air he is likely to freefall on Draft Day..Talented prospect with a lot of question marks but he could be a steal for some team that is willing to take a risk and be patient.
