04/23/2009 - If anyone has the pre-draft buildup figured out it's Juaquin Iglesias. The Oklahoma wide receiver got away for five days last week when he went to the Turks and Caicos islands with some players he has been working out with at Competitive Edge Sports in Atlanta, Chip Smith's facility that Brian Urlacher has done a lot of work at in the past. Iglesias, along with his girlfriend, vacationed with Arizona quarterback Willie Tuitama, Maryland linebacker Moise Fokou and Georgia safety C.J. Byrd. "Working out and relaxing,'' Iglesias said. ``That's all I can do.'' Iglesias returned on Tuesday and is counting the days to the NFL draft now. He's hopeful to be selected in the second round and will likely be off the board by the third round. The Bears put Iglesias through a private workout on April 7 in his hometown of Killeen, Texas. Wide receivers coach Darryl Drake worked out Iglesias the day before he traveled to Athens, Ga., to put Georgia's Mohamed Massaquoi through a private workout. While the Bears did their best to downplay the possibility the team will choose a wideout with its first pick--No. 49 overall--there is no denying it is the greatest need on the roster. It's been NFC North teams that have shown the most interest in Iglesias. Minnesota personnel boss Rick Spielman and coach Brad Childress attended the Oklahoma pro day. Iglesias then made an official visit to the team's facility. "I'm very excited to get the opportunity to play anywhere in the NFL,'' he said. "I'm waiting around really.'' - Brad Biggs, Chicago Sun-Times
| Overview |
|
Playing for one of the most explosive offenses in the history of college football that featured Heisman Trophy quarterback Sam Bradford, All-American tight end Jermaine Gresham and former All-American receiver Malcolm Kelly, Iglesias didn't get as much publicity as his more heralded teammates. However, he did lead Oklahoma in receptions (68 in 2007, 74 in 2008) and receiving yards (907, 1,150) the past two seasons. Iglesias also scored 10 times as a senior en route to second-team All-Big 12 Conference honors, which was a difficult task given the league's prolific offenses. More solid than flashy, his size, speed and ability to gain yards after the catch made him a natural for the West Coast Offense. His experience as a kickoff returner (876 yards in '07, 475 in '08) also added to his value. Before he concluded his career, Iglesias made his mark in the school and Big 12 record books. His 202 receptions rank second in school annals and placed 11th on the league all-time chart. His 2,821 yards receiving also rank second in Sooners history and 10th in the Big 12. His 26.41-yard average on kickoff returns is second on the conference record chart and the Oklahoma mark. He also set school records for most kickoff return yards in a career (1,664) and season (826 in 2007), most receptions and receiving yards in a game (12 for 191 yards vs. Kansas in 2008) and set the 2008 Fiesta Bowl record with 195 kickoff return yards, the second-best game total in school history. Iglesias earned All-Area honors as a junior and All-District 16-4A accolades as a senior at Killeen High School. He registered 42 catches for 886 and 10 touchdowns and also threw two passes, both for touchdowns, while also returning kicks as a senior. The three-sport standout also was a starter on the basketball team, where he averaged 17 points per game. In track, he competed in the 400, 800, and 1,600-meter relays. As a true freshman at Oklahoma in 2005, Iglesias appeared in 12 games, starting four contests as a slot receiver. He finished fourth on the team with 19 receptions for 290 yards (15.3 avg) and a pair of scores. He played a major role the next season, starting 11 contests as a flanker. He ranked second on the squad with 41 grabs for 514 yards (12.5 avg) and two scores, as he also averaged 25.9 yards on 14 kickoff returns that included a touchdown. Being a good soldier on a multi-talented team, Iglesias managed to receive only All-Big 12 Conference honorable mention as a junior. He led the team with 68 receptions for 907 yards (13.3 avg) and five touchdowns. He started 10 games at flanker, but also made a name for himself as a kickoff returner, ranking third in the league and 16th nationally with an average of 28.48 yards on 29 attempts. His 1,833 all-purpose yards led the Sooners and rank seventh on the school single-season record list. Bradford's march to the Heisman Trophy in 2008 would have been impossible without Iglesias being the team's featured receiver. He hauled in 74 passes for 1,150 yards (15.5 avg), both ranking second on the school single-season record list, as his 10 touchdowns rank tied for fourth. He amassed 1,631 all-purpose yards, the 10th-best season total in OU annals. |
| Analysis |
|
Positives: Good initial quickness off the snap to get into his route. Experienced route-runner who can generate separation from defenders due to his agility. Reliable hands. Can pluck the ball outside of his frame and quickly secures it. Tracks the ball well over either shoulder. Experienced as a punt and kick returner. Good vision and a naturally elusive runner with the ball in his hands. Not afraid to go over the middle. Will fight for extra yardage. Classic build, quickness and hands for the West Coast Offense. Better quickness than pure straight-line speed, but is elusive and has the burst to separate. Negatives: Questionable straight-line speed. Relies on his quickness and agility to create separation and may never become a classic deep threat. Has never operated as the go-to target while at Oklahoma, and has to prove he can handle the pressure of lining up opposite the opponent's best corner. Viewed by some as only a complementary receiver whose best NFL position might be as a slot receiver. |
| Scouting Report |
|
GENERAL REPORT. GRADE: 6.80 Body Structure: Iglesias has a decent sized frame, but lacks great arm length, compensating with large, soft hands. He has a frame that can carry more bulk, with tapered thighs and calves. He has adequate upper body muscle development with the strength to defeat the jam. Athletic Ability: Iglesias has deceptive speed to get downfield, showing good body flexibility, balance and body control to adjust to the ball in flight. He has the ability to get downfield, but is better served operating in the intermediate area and on controlled routes, as he tends to drift in and out of his patterns when going long distances. He uses his hands well to beat the press and is an elusive runner after the catch, thanks to his vision and ability to locate the soft spots. He is a perfect fit for the West Coast offense that relies upon receivers making quick cuts and showing fearlessness going over the middle. The thing you see on film is the way he uses his concentration, balance and leaping ability to compete for the ball in the air. He has some hip tightness (4.4 20-yard shuttle, one of the lowest numbers among Combine receivers), but still shows shifty moves on short routes (less in long routes). His body control through his routes lets him extend for the off-target throws. GRADE: 6.6 Football Sense: Iglesias has the natural instincts and feel on the field that lets him adjust on the move. He shows good alertness to coverages and needs just a few reps to retain plays. He is quick to find openings or come back for the ball and has no trouble working in unison with the quarterback. His natural instincts are evident with the way he adjusts to situations on the move. GRADE: 6.9 Character: Iglesias is a likeable player who is very mature on and off the field. He has no known stability issues and gets along well with his teammates and staff. He is the type of player the staff used for younger players to emulate. GRADE: 6.9 Competitiveness: The staff says he is a good competitor and he shows urgency getting underneath the throws. He is a good crack blocker who will compete for the ball deep. He has the toughness and determination to get to the ball in a crowd, and while not field fast he gained more than 40 percent of his yardage after the catch last year thanks to his vision and ability to sink his pads and execute moves to fool the defensive back. You also see that extra effort from him working back to the pocket when the quarterback is flushed. GRADE: 6.8 Work Habits: Iglesias has good football character and takes pride in his team-first work ethic, performing capably in any role the staff asks from him (slot receiver, flanker, kickoff returner, blocker). He is very coachable and not the type who needs to be pushed, as he is a self-starter who puts put in extra hours in the film and weight rooms. GRADE: 6.8 ATHLETIC REPORT: GRADE: 6.77 Release: Iglesias shows good quickness and a deceptive stride, where he can suddenly put on the second gear to eat up the defender's cushion, but has inconsistent straight-line speed (will drift quite a bit on long routes, making him a better fit as a slot receiver). He has the functional strength to fight through a powerful jam, but could use improvement in this area to combat the more physical NFL corners. When he is able to avoid the press, he gets into his route quickly. Still, it is his moves off the ball that gets him most of his success in moving up the field, as he knows how to generate the body lean to slip through a crowd and settle in the soft areas. GRADE: 6.4 Acceleration: Iglesias has the size and vertical jump to go up and make the catch working over the middle, but questionable straight-line explosiveness, as he will drift the longer the route goes. He is better when using his stride and deceptive speed to work on screens, crossers and controlled routes rather than when asked to stretch the field. It is evident that he has natural ball skills to adjust to the ball in flight and play it at its high point. He builds acceleration with no wasted motions and takes long strides to compensate for a lack of blazing speed. He can run a lethargic defender off the line of scrimmage and plays the ball well with nice adjustment skills. GRADE: 6.5 Quickness: Iglesias is a long strider with good quickness off the line and the ability to eat up a defender's cushion, but does not have that second gear to get behind NFL types. He shows nice acceleration throughout his routes and has an array of moves to set up the defender, especially when working underneath. He has some hip tightness, but does a good job of sinking his hips and settling in the soft areas. Because of his long limbs, he can get separation vs. second level defenders, but is better served as a chain mover than a home run threat (has only one catch for over 50 yards in his career, but as a senior, he proved his productivity by converting 19 of 22 third-down plays). GRADE: 6.1 Route Running: Iglesias seems to be better on controlled routes, as he can build his acceleration and make cuts to separate or work back to the ball. His long routes need improvement, as he will drift, then struggles to drop his weight and gain separation. He rounds upfield routes some, but has the body control to adjust and get under the thrown ball without having to break stride on screens and crossers. He also does a good job of maintaining balance and body control working through a crowd. GRADE: 7.2 Separation Ability: Iglesias has a fluid stride that lets him elude second-level defenders. He makes very good body adjustments working underneath and the vision to be alert to his surroundings, as he has that knack for locating seams and settling down in soft spots. He has enough functional speed to get deep and threaten, but needs more crispness coming out of his long breaks. He has awareness to uncover, as he does a nice job at staying lower in his pads to cut more effectively working in the short areas. He has the size to shade a defender, but just lacks that second gear to separate in the deep zone. He is most comfortable working in the zone and excels at conning the defender with his head and shoulder fakes. GRADE: 6.5 Ball Concentration: Iglesias plays with a very good feel for the ball in flight, as he is adept at tracking and chasing down the ball over either shoulder. He shows the ability to adjust and get in position to snatch the ball over his outside shoulder without having to throttle down. He is very good working the sidelines and keeping his feet in bounds. Going over the middle, he is fearless and rarely ever affected by close coverage, as he does a nice job of not even thinking about the closing traffic. He makes very good plays on the ball in flight, with impeccable timing and good leaping ability, using his natural hands to extend and catch away from his frame rather than letting the ball absorb into his body. GRADE: 7.5 Ball Adjustment: Iglesias has outstanding ball skills to adjust to the thrown ball, looking natural with his body control to get in position and make plays over his shoulder. His hip stiffness makes him struggle some to suddenly redirect, but he still flashes enough flexibility to adjust to the off-target passes. GRADE: 6.7 Leaping Ability: Iglesias has good leaping ability and can catch the ball at its high point, despite not having great arm length. He has a good sense for timing his leaps and shows no flinch or concern for his body going up for the ball in a crowd. With a valid vertical jump at 34.5-inches, he should have no problem beating smaller defenders to the ball in flight. GRADE: 6.4 Hands: Iglesias has excellent hands to look the ball in. He is able to extend and pluck the ball outside his frame and it is rare to see him experience concentration lapses. He has the large, soft hands to be quite effective at securing the ball and protecting it before heading upfield. He will generally catch anything thrown right at him and doers this without having to break stride. He has also proven to be a capable kickoff returner, as he gets to the ball, secures it and then patiently follows his blocks. GRADE: 7.7 Run After the Catch: Iglesias has enough elusive moves to take a short crossing pass for a long distance, but needs to work on his straight-line speed, as he drifts in and out of his patterns too much going for the long ball. He is a shifty intermediate route runner whose vision and creativity in his moves can compensate for some tight hips and an obvious lack of a second gear. He also shows the vision to make the big play if he finds the crease. He runs with good urgency and uses his hands well to break arm tackles. When a person converts 19 of 22 third-down snaps, speed or no speed, you know you have a savvy chain-mover on your hands. GRADE: 7.3 Blocking Ability: In the second level, Iglesias is effective at taking angles and executing the crack block. He will pester and mirror when blocking in-line and flashes good aggression at the point of attack and down field. GRADE: 6.2 Special Teams: Iglesias could make a decent living as a kickoff returner at the next level, thanks to his vision, sure hands and natural running skills. He might lack blazing speed, but he has the patience to take what his coverage will give him and shows enough strength to power through trash. GRADE: 6.8 Compares To: BOBBY ENGRAM, Seattle (free agent) -- Iglesias is bigger and bulkier than Engram, but both have the versatility to fill in at quite a few roles for their respective teams. Like Engram, Iglesias is not going to win foot races based on pure speed, but he is an efficient route runner with natural hands. He started at flanker, but has experience in the slot, a position he could provide much better value, especially in a West Coast Offense. OVERALL GRADE: 6.77 --Report by Dave-Te' Thomas. |
