Iwunnah is a traits-over-production case study. The size, strength and flashes of explosiveness are intriguing enough to warrant a look, especially for teams seeking interior defensive line depth. Hell, that is one of the reasons Michigan took a chance on him late in the 2021 recruiting class. However, the lack of game experience (not in garbage time) and minimal production create some massive hurdles for his shot at making an NFL roster.
Ultimately, Iwunnah profiles as an undrafted free agent who will need time on a practice squad to refine his technique and adjust to the speed of the NFL. If he can translate his raw power and physical tools into consistent on-field production, there’s a path to sticking on a roster but that is admittedly very, very far from a sure thing.
