Igwebuike Sold on Opportunity in Tampa

Donald Igwebuike played six seasons in the NFL as a placekicker, making a living off his right foot. His first cousin once removed, Godwin Igwebuike is now trying to make it in the same league at a vastly different position. The latter member of the Igwebuike clan, a Northwestern safety who signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted rookie earlier this month, hopes to eventually crack the team's defensive lineup. That said, the younger Igwebuike's best shot at getting his foot in the NFL's door is the same thing that gave his predecessor an opportunity: the kicking game.
