3 Biggest Losers From the Cowboys' Offseason Workouts

2. Israel Mukuamu, Safety

The Cowboys have an impressive list of undrafted free agents. That includes two Hall of Famers — Cliff Harris and Drew Pearson. There's also Tony Romo, who holds just about every major passing record in team history.

They continue to find players who go from undrafted free agents to impact players and that includes two safeties — Markquese Bell and Juanyeh Thomas. Each is entering their third season in the league and has different skill sets. Bell has a nose for the ball carrier, which is why he was moved to safety when the Cowboys were thin at the position last year. Thomas, on the other hand, is excellent in coverage.

While neither of these players may ever rise to the level of the aforementioned superstars, Bell is expected to have a huge role once again as he replaces Jayron Kearse. As for Thomas, the third-year safety from Georgia Tech is well on his way to becoming a starter according to Patrick Walker of the team's official website. That's great news for Thomas, but terrible for Israel Mukuamu.

Selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of South Carolina, Mukuamu was originally a cornerback but Dallas moved him to safety. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder has done well when given an opportunity and was excellent in slot coverage during the 2022 season while Jourdan Lewis was hurt.

Unfortunately, he now finds himself buried on the depth chart in a crowded room. He hasn't done anything to paint himself in a bad light but the emergence of Thomas could be his undoing in Big D.

Mukuamu has 23 tackles, two pass defenses, and one interception under his name. He has the talent to be a contributor in the NFL and if he doesn't make the cut with the Cowboys, it wouldn't be surprising at all to see him follow Dan Quinn to Washington — the same way many other defenders did this offseason.
