Despite already having addressed the linebacker position on the first day of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars opted to double-dip in the position group during the second day, utilizing their second of two third-round selections to draft athletic Wyoming linebacker Chad Muma.
The value of getting a guy that wasn’t necessarily expected to be there in the first place was too great, general manager Trent Baalke noted shortly following Round 3. But, it wasn’t just a luxury pick, either, Muma will play a big role in how Jacksonville builds its program moving forward.
