GAME FILM
#24 israel mukuamu vs Texas A&M (2020)

#24 israel mukuamu highlights

Strengths: He is extremely long, with excellent size, and a nice physical frame for an NFL cornerback. He uses his length and his strength to jam receivers in press man coverages. He gives the opposing quarterback a tiny window to throw contested passes for completions. He uses his long wingspan to knock down passes thrown away to receivers. He will come up and protect against the run and terminate the play immediately. 

Weaknesses: He needs to work on his mechanic skills as he is choppy with his backpedal. He has slow reaction skills, and he struggles to open up and turn upfield. He is not very fluid and shows stiffness. He does not recognize the route well and susceptible to double moves.

Draft Projection: 5th Round

NFL Comparison: Amani Oruwariye​ (Detroit Lions)
