What does the Cowboys’ newest toy bring to the defense?
Measuring in at 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds with 34.5-inch arms, Iloka, who was the college teammate of Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, has a unique size and frame for a safety. Despite his size, Iloka has spent a lot of his time playing in both box and deep safety roles thus far in his career, showing likable traits in both areas.
When covering deep zones, the 28-year-old plays a conservative style, as he’ll sacrifice the ability to make plays on the ball to get enough depth so that he doesn’t get beat deep.
