In his first three seasons at Clemson, Mukuba only had 1 INT and no forced fumbles, but he became more of a playmaker in 2024 (5 INT, 1 FF) after transferring to Texas.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s a smart, tough, instinctive, and regarded as a good culture player. Highlights:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Mukuba will have a chance to compete for a starting safety job. At a minimum, he gives the Eagles more depth at safety and in the slot, which they need after losing four contributing defensive backs in Darius Slay, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Isaiah Rodgers, and Avonte Maddox this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Jimmy &amp; PhillyVoice on Twitter: <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JimmyKempski\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@JimmyKempski<\/a>  |  <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thephillyvoice\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@thePhillyVoice<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like us on Facebook: <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/phillyvoicesports\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PhillyVoice Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Add <a data-original-title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phillyvoice.com\/feed\/channel\/jimmy-kempski\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Jimmy&#8217;s RSS feed<\/a> to your feed reader<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the 64th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected Texas S Andrew Mukuba.
