Rookie Expectations: Joel Iyiegbuniwe

The first, “Who?” for hardcore fans watching the NFL draft was very likely when the Chicago Bears selected Joel Iyiegbuniwe out of Western Kentucky in the fourth round.

Iggy, as many call him, is an inside linebacker but also has excels on special teams. With the selection of Roquan Smith and Danny Trevathan slated as a starter and Nick Kwiatkoski in the mix, what does it mean this season for Iyiegbuniwe?
