When Joel Iyiegbuniwe was drafted out of Western Kentucky it was a questionable pick. He was a bit unknown but has speed that was needed in todays NFL and in the fourth round was an intriguing flyer.
It was expected that he would take time to grow into an NFL body in the first season, but he was certain to make the roster. Iggy did just as expected in year one. So, in year two, the idea was that he would be challenging Nick Kwiatkowski for linebacker 3 snaps.
However, before the draft the team added Kevin Pierre-Louis which did not appear to be good news for Iggy.
