Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rising quickly up draft boards
Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com labels Iheanachor as one of the players whose draft stock has risen the most in the last few months.
ANALYSIS
Iheanachor is now considered an early Day 2 pick after putting together an impressive body of work at Arizona State over the last two seasons in particular and then impressing in Senior Bowl workouts. Iheanachor moved to the U.S. from Nigeria as a teenager and didn't play organized football until arriving at East Los Angeles College. Legwold notes Iheanachor's 6-foot-6 stature, 4.95 40-yard dash and 83.25-inch wingspan also add to his growing appeal.
