The Dallas Cowboys have selected Cornerback Israel Mukuamu with a 6th-round pick, 227th overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft. He just completed his junior season at the University of South Carolina.

Mukuamu has rare size at 6’4″ and fits the mold of what new Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn likes in his corners. Dallas took another 6’4″ CB at the end of the 3rd Round in Oregon State’s Nahshon Wright.

Cowboys drafted ex-South Carolina CB Israel Mukuamu in sixth round at No. 227 overall. Ridiculous size at 6-4, 212 pounds and 34" arms. One more pick to go.

With these two and Kentucky’s Kelvin Joseph in the second round, the Cowboys have added three cornerbacks in this draft. We could easily see one of these players making a transition to safety given their size, with Mukuamu probably the best candidate of the rookies.

Welcome to Dallas, Israel Mukuamu!
