Ranking Eagles top linebacker prospects ahead of 2022 NFL Draft
The Eagles might have Christian Harris and Chad Muma higher on their big boards.
NFL teams like guys who are consistent if you haven’t noticed, and while Christian Harris displayed often during his time with the Alabama Crimson Tide that he has the skill to be a first-rounder, there were times when he didn’t quite play up to his potential.
Some still value him as a first-round talent. Others have given him second-round grades on Day 2. Others still have argued that he’s a third-round talent that could slide to the middle of that round.
Then again, any claims of inconsistency could be false. In 2021, he notched 80 tackles, 5.5 sacks, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. One year earlier, the numbers were pretty much the same, he tallied 79 tackles, 4.5 sacks, two passes breakups, and an interception.
Put a checkmark in just about every box for Chad Muma, formerly of the Wyoming Cowboys. He’s legitimate.
He’s athletically gifted and consistent. He’s also a great play waiting to happen. In 2021, he tallied 142 total tackles with eight resulting in a loss of yardage. Add that to 1.5 sacks and three interceptions. This would be a nice addition to Jonathan Gannon’s defense.
