Kenny Iloka could be the second younger brother of an NFL player that the Jaguars take in the 2016 NFL Draft, along with Notre Dame’s Martin. Iloka is the younger brother of Cincinnati Bengals safety George Iloka. The younger Iloka played safety collegiately for Gary Patterson at TCU in Fort Worth.

Jacksonville needs to address many of its issues in the secondary and may choose to do so in the later rounds of the 2016 NFL Draft. Why not use the pick the Jaguars acquired in the Scobee trade with the Steelers to draft the other Iloka brother? If he’s anything like George, Kenny could turn out to be a special player to in his own right?

At 6’2″, 209 pounds, the Horned Frogs strong safety could fit right into an NFL defense and would get the opportunity to compete right away in a so-so secondary for the Jaguars. A 2015 season-ending injury is what is probably keeping the younger Iloka brother from being higher up on NFL Draft boards.

Though taking him at No. 201 might still be a bit of a reach for the Jaguars, assuming that he is anything like his older brother, Iloka may end up being able to overcome his senior season injury and turn into quite the professional defensive back. Like with LSU’s Robinson, Jacksonville may want to take a risk on the TCU strong safety at No. 201.
