Israel Mukuamu looks to prove something in contract year

After three seasons, Israel Mukuamu has yet to make a name for himself with the Dallas Cowboys. Now entering the final year of his rookie contract, can the versatile defensive back finally climb the depth chart, or will he be lucky to even make the roster?

Mukuamu was a sixth-round pick for Dallas in the 2021 NFL Draft. Playing both cornerback and safety at South Carolina, he was tagged as a safety initially but only appeared in four games. 2021 was Dan Quinn’s first season as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator and with that change came a lot of turnover at safety.
