I found this mock draft today, and it has Ikegwuonu being drafted by the Pack in the 2nd round. Then I found the following story. It's sad this had to happen so close to the draft. He lost alot of money because of this injury.
From http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/wires/01/25/ikegwuonu/index.html


Jack Ikegwuonu, the talented cornerback from Wisconsin who was expected to be a first-day selection in April's draft, may have seen his 2008 season end before it even began.

Training in Florida for the Feb. 20th NFL combine, Ikegwuonu tore an anterior cruciate ligament and injured a medial collateral ligament and kneecap earlier this week. The injury occurred while he was pulling a weighted sled designed to improve his speed.

He is set to have reconstructive surgery in the next two weeks, and the seriousness of the injury means his rehabilitation will take at least six months, if not longer. That could keep him on the sidelines for the upcoming season.

A three-year starter, Ikegwuonu was named to several All-America teams as a freshman. The all-Big Ten cornerback came on late in his junior season, shutting down a number of the conference's better receivers after a slow start to the season. He finished the year with one interception and broke up a team-leading 15 passes, and declared for the draft on Jan. 7.

He possesses the size and speed NFL scouts want for the next level, leading to his projection as a second-round pick. Now he's likely to fall into the very late rounds.

I think Jack Ikegwuonu & Jessica Simpson would make a fetching couple.

I think that splains a lot about his fast start as a freshman, and his later problems with the law. Thanks for link.


I like Ike!

Do we have the beginnings of a fan club here?

Sorry...I feel so dumb. I didn't see the thread already. :oops:

Yeah, at first I thought that "Seventh rounder for Ike" thing was a misplaced political thread from the Garbage Can.

If I wanted to hear from an ass...I'd fart. Don't be a dick...although it may be hard for you.

Ass, fart, and dick all in a 7 word span. Now that's efficiency.

I like this group, spirited. The Jack Ikegwuonu Fan Club is off to a good start.

Tricky question for all new recruits:
If Jack helped you on a horse, would you help Jack off a horse?

Hahahaha... :lol:

Trick question. Ike would never be on a horse. Black people fear horses more than water and dogs combined.

[swede]

Law and order issues are pretty cut and dried.

If a horse murdered someone we'd hang him.

Ike has to watch his step around the law or he'll be hung like a horse.

If he has that going for him, he's good to go in another industry :wink:

[MJZiggy]

Aren't I supposed to be the one to have thought of that?

[Sparkey]

How quickly will his fan club disappear, just like his chances of being drafted after blowing out his knee last week ????

[Harlan Huckleby]

hah. You don't know Jack.

I'm keeping the campaign going. As long as his name is out there there is still a chance he gets drafted.

We spent a 4th rounder on a guy with a broken foot that pooped in a laundry basket.

Why not a 7th rounder on a guy with a torn up knee that breaks into apartments to get his stuff back?

[MJZiggy]

We also quite recently spent a first rounder on a guy with a torn biceps...TT is not afraid of an injury PROVIDED that the player is a hard worker and leaves it all on the field when he plays. Whether he's willing to take a chance on him depends on his answer to the question of how hard Ike plays.

Well played.

[Deputy Nutz]

I would take IKE with the 7th round selection, you would be a fool not to.
