New Cowboys CB Noah Igbinoghene: “I know it’s a very popular organization. Most popular football team in America. I’m blessed to be here. This is an amazing opportunity. I’m hoping to thrive here. … I feel like I honestly needed (a fresh start). My career hasn’t really gone up to my expectations. I’m still young. I’m 23 years old. I get a new fresh start. … The stuff I went through in Miami, it built me. It built my character. I needed to go through that. All that stuff built me for this moment right here.”

Don't expect much from him.
He's not a natural corner. He doesn't have the hip movement for a corner.
But he's fast.

Yeah, he brings something to KR on ST. Looks like they wanted to change that vs having a gunner on ST to be honest.

I hope #19 turns his career around with the Cowboys, but provided he stays healthy, I'll be surprised if he lasts here the entire season.

This is the kind of player teams love to stash on IR, if given the chance.

It’s very nice of him to keep a roster spot warm for a 2024 draft pick or CJ Goodwin/Josh Butler at some point.

CB Noah Igbinoghene​

Overview
Stocky but explosive receiver-turned-cornerback whose play generates both intrigue and concern. He's extremely physical from snap to whistle with the strength to alter route timing from press. He's a good athlete with a plus burst to close. He's naturally aggressive to ambush catch tries. Staying in phase on the vertical plane is a challenge and pattern recognition is surprisingly average. Improvement is likely with more experience and technique, but playing with downfield poise is not guaranteed. He's good in run support and offers early special teams help as he continues to learn his craft.
Strengths
  • Very strong and very physical
  • Explosive athleticism
  • Tremendously competitive with outstanding practice habits
  • Treats press jam like a sparring session
  • Repetitive strikes to inside shoulder help grind on the release
  • Instant acceleration to open and chase
  • Low center of gravity for quicker change of direction
  • Shows ability for early recovery in short spaces
  • Aggressive challenges diminish receivers' focus at catch point
  • Heavy chops through receivers' arms and hands force incompletions
  • Good balance and radar as open-field tackler
  • Two career kick return touchdowns and gunner talent
Weaknesses
  • Very raw with just two years playing the position
  • Lacks natural footwork and fluidity in space
  • Inconsistent mirroring release and timing up his opening
  • Slow to sort what he sees from off coverage
  • Eye balance between receiver and quarterback is lacking
  • Plays with all power and no finesse
  • Below average at staying in phase with the route
  • Panic sets in with his back to the ball
  • Yellow flags find him when he doesn't find the ball
  • Tackles up high and needs to lower his target aim

If anything, being a 1st round pick, and if he shows just a little something. Maybe we get a comp pick. Even a 7th rounder. It would been like trading KJ for a 7th. Just have to wait a bit longer.
