Alex Ibiloye of Texas Christian ~ 6.0/189
"A thinner, undersized safety who doesn't look as tall as his measurables would state. Is a bit tight hipped when asked to sit into his stance and quickly redirect and get after the football. Possesses only average instincts and doesn't consistently get early jumps on the throw. Lacks a great initial burst out of his break and struggles to get his hands on many footballs. Showcases good body control when asked to adjust and possesses some leaping ability when asked to go up in underneath coverage and knock passes away, but is limited in his ability to get his hands on many throws in space.
Allows his pad level to get too high when asked to open up his hips and run. Lacks a great first step and/or second gear and will struggle to get back up to speed quickly. Does a better job in the run game working off his run keys and taking proper angles when attacking downhill. However, isn't a real physical tackler. Again, allows his pad level to get upright into contact, gets too high and will slide off ball carriers too easily at times instead of sticking low and bringing his legs.
Impression: Isn't real special in any area of the game and isn't much more than a free agent who needs to make his mark playing special teams to have a shot."

"Bio: Two-year starter who finished with 39 tackles and broke up one pass as a senior. Had 70 tackles as a junior.
Positive: Adequately sized defensive back coming off a poor senior season. Effectively diagnoses the action, displays a sense of timing, and has a solid burst of closing speed in every direction. Fast up the field, aggressive defending the run, and shows ability as an open-field tackler.
Negative: Lacks the size to play safety. Has marginal ball skills. Does not make many plays on the ball in coverage.
Analysis: Ibiloye displayed a lot of progress in his game during his junior season of 2009. He did not perform up to expectations last season but has enough skill to be used in dime packages at the next level if he plays well on special teams."
