The Mountain West may not be a Power 5 conference, but it is one that the Dallas Cowboys’ brass is familiar with. It’s just that normally the only landing spot on the destination calendar is Boise State. Wyoming linebacker Chad Muma might not have the name recognition of a Nakobe Dean or a Devin Lloyd but he should be on every draftniks radar. He isn’t the most highly decorated, although he did compete for the conference lead in a couple of categories; but that shouldn’t scare Cowboys fans.
Muma is a fantastic prospect who at the worst can be a third-down coverage player out the gate, but he brings more than that. He is still relatively new to the linebacker position, as he switched to it his senior year in high school; so his ceiling will be very enticing for NFL teams. So what does his film say? Does he fit with the Cowboys? Let’s take a look.
