The great thing about the NFL Draft is that you can find talent anywhere. From the highest of Alabama football levels to the lowest Division III playing fields, if a player belongs against the big boys, he’s going to make his mark regardless of college status.
Enter Joel Iyiegbuniwe, who played for relatively obscure Division I FBS Western Kentucky. An incredibly productive and explosive starter for the Hilltoppers in the last two years, it wasn’t always that way for Iyiegbuniwe. He first had to work his way up as a special teamer showing he was willing to sacrifice everything for his team.
