Andrew Mukuba’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Andrew Mukuba is a valuable coverage safety who brings an intriguing combination of ball skills, route recognition, and range. He’s a quick processor whose brisk responsiveness is maximized his fluidity and short-area energy. During his time at Clemson, he showed he could break up passes and track down the deep ball.
At Texas, he finally had the interception production to back that up. His skinnier frame could make it difficult to be a consistent tackler at the NFL level, and if he does add more weight to his frame, it could take him some time to adjust appropriately. In man coverage, physicality can be an issue for Mukuba.
But when he’s able to manage space and pin his ears back as a heat-seeking missile, he appears to be in his element. As a versatile two-phase playmaker with elite coverage mobility and sharp eyes, Mukuba has impact starter upside.
