Godwin Igwebuike NFL Draft scouting report

Godwin Igwebuike was a ballhawking safety and playmaker for Northwestern, and now he’s ready to make the NFL leap. After considering the draft after his junior season, Igwebuike opted to return to school. His tackling numbers were down in 2017 from 2016, but he still had a knack for making timely plays. The Pickerington, Oh. native posted strong numbers at the combine, and, being as personable as he is, likely made a good impression in interviews. Projections have Igwebuike anywhere from late-day two to mid-day three of the draft, so he should go in the fourth or fifth round.
