Green Bay Packers get a linebacker to pair with De’Vondre Campbell
For the longest time, the Packer’s kryptonite was the linebacker position. No matter how hard the Packers tried or how many resources they put into the linebacker position itself, the Packers could not find a linebacker.
They tried multiple draft picks on the linebacker and even converted former edge rusher, Clay Matthews, to an off-ball linebacker, but they couldn’t find anybody.
Finally, it seems that the Packers have found a quality linebacker in De’Vondre Campbell. The Packers signed Campbell to a one-year deal after an okay NFL career, but with Green Bay, he turned into one of the best NFL linebackers as he was a quality player in terms of coverage as well as run defense.
While they have found a quality linebacker in Campbell, they have yet to find anybody who can pair alongside him, or give him a break.
This one would be a bit of a wild pick for the Packers as they don’t take group of five prospects very often, but Muma would be a great pick for Green Bay. Muma is a 240-pound linebacker who can really move.
Muma ran a near 4.6 40-yard dash and put up incredible numbers in other combine drills like the broad jump and vertical jump. Muma is also a quality tackler and rarely ever misses his tackles.
While Muma is a solid 240 pounds, you wouldn’t know it based on his film. Muma rarely pushes offensive players around, and more often than not he gets moved backward. It makes things even worse when you look at the fact that he hasn’t played against a strong level of competition.
Muma will need to learn to deal with the physicality and the stiffer competition at the NFL level but give him a little time, and you could have another quality linebacker next to Campbell.
Other Players Considered: Channing Tindall, Jelani Woods, Brian Asamoah
