Juaquin Iglesias SELECTED BY: Bears Round 3 (35)

SI Grade 3.84 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors the past two seasons. Senior totals included career numbers of 74/1,150/10 after 68/907/5 as a junior. Experienced returning punts and kicks.

POSITIVES: Sure-handed possession receiver with an excellent head for the game. Quickly gets into breaks, plays with terrific body control, and consistently extends his hands to make the catch. Works his way back to the quarterback, and then uses his frame to shield away defenders or protect the pass. Easily adjusts to the long throw downfield, and makes the reception in stride. Knows where he is on the field, reliable in all aspects, and displays good awareness. Gets up in a crowd to make the difficult reception, and is a sturdy receiver who can take a pounding and then hold onto the throw. Uses his hands to get separation from opponents, and works hard to come free.

NEGATIVES: Lacks deep speed, and cannot run to the long throw. Branded in the past as a player who needed to be pushed.

ANALYSIS: Iglesias is a well-rounded possession receiver with adequate size and reliable hands. He has the tools to start at the next level as a number three wideout and could eventually develop into a productive second receiver.

PROJECTION: Second Round
