| George Iloka Scouting Report |
| George Iloka - Boise State (HT: 6-3⅝ - WT: 225) |
Positives -- Good combination of size and speed for a safety; has no problem matching up with tight ends, which is critical in today's NFL... Good technique on bump and run coverage, can really disrupt the receiver when he tries to get off the line... Has the surprising ability for his size to get low on his
backpedal... Measured in at the combine with 34½ inch arms, making him that much more of a threat in defending passes... Great feel for the game, knows where to sit in the zones and when to break on the football... Is one of the best safeties in this class at reading the quarterbacks eyes; need to stare him off before you can feel comfortable making a throw in his direction... Uses his length well when tackling, very tough to break out of his grasp... Strong football IQ, excellent at executing his assignment and disrupting the offense... Has enough athleticism to start at free safety but has the prototypical size you look for in a strong safety... Can play in the box and should be able to rush the passer when needed, although wasn't asked to do that much in college... Very experienced, started 40 games in college.
Negatives -- Struggles with tackling in one on one situations, tends to leave his feet and dive at opponents' legs instead of using his size to wrap and drive... When he does wrap, he has the tendency to not finish the tackle... Not quick enough to guard a receiver one on one; would get eaten up against smaller guys who can avoid his bump and run move... Doesn't change direction well when already at full speed when attacking the line of scrimmage... Can take poor angles to the football, is susceptible to being side stepped in space... Will really need to work on his coverage to be a three down safety... His 4.66-40 at the combine was a big letdown but he plays faster on film and his size-speed ratio is still intriguing... Competition is a question mark as Boise State didn't have one of the more challenging schedules.
