Emil Igwenagu Scouting Report |
Emil Igwenagu - Massachusetts (HT: 6-1¼ - WT: 249) |
Positives -- Big body, has a very strong build and massive arms... Decent speed and a solid athlete, had a 34.5" vertical at the combine... Good receiver, runs good routes out of the backfield; natural hands, doesn't drop many balls
and adjusts well to poorly thrown balls... Long arms help him as a blocker and gives him a large catch radius... Still learning the position, so he has room to grow... Versatile, has played fullback, H-Back, linebacker and tight end over the past three years... Good intangibles, was a team captain for UMass. Negatives -- Was not utilized much as a rushing threat, only had four carries for seven yards as a senior... Undersized for a tight end at 6'1", likely an H-Back candidate in the NFL... Needs to be used correctly; won't fit in every offense as he's not a great lead blocker and doesn't have the physical tools to line up consistently at tight end... Has small hands for his size... Didn't exactly dominate FCS competition.
