| Biography: |
Jonathan Babineaux was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round, 59th overall.
Babineaux was an immediate contributor upon arriving at Iowa in 2000. He played in 11 games, starting vs. Ohio State, Wisconsin and Penn State as a fullback that year, but only carried once for a 4-yard gain and made two catches for 12 yards. A right tibia fracture during 2001 spring drills kept him on the sidelines for the season.
In 2002, he moved to the defensive tackle position, starting the first 11 games on the weak side before missing the Minnesota contest due to the death of his grandfather. He recorded 53 tackles (31 solos) with seven sacks, nine stops behind the line of scrimmage, nine quarterback pressures, two forced fumbles and an interception during that campaign.
He started the first seven games of the 2003 season, but tore ligaments in his ankle and again fractured his right tibia early in the Ohio State clash, missing the team's final six contests. He finished that year with 23 tackles (12 solos), a sack and five stops behind the line of scrimmage.
His finest season was 2004, as Babineaux not only earned All-America and All-Big Ten Conference honors, but was also named the team's Defensive MVP. In his final year, he collected 55 tackles (41 solos) as he led the Big Ten and ranked 11th in the nation with 11 sacks. He led the conference and ranked second in the nation with 25 stops behind the line of scrimmage, registered 12 pressures with three fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles. His 25 stops for losses also set a school single-season record. Babineaux played in 42 games for the Hawkeyes, including 32 contests on defense. He recorded 131 tackles (84 solos) with 19 sacks for minus-99 yards, 39 stops for losses of 151 yards, 24 quarterback pressures, four fumble recoveries, five forced fumbles, an interception and two pass deflections. |
