Offensive Tackle
Cowboys Fit
Marcus Mbow
2025 NFL Draft Prospect
- Height: 6-4
- Weight: 303
- School: Purdue
- Class: Redshirt Junior
| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| Strong and compact frame. Plays his hand usage well at a high level. Keeps good leverage at the point of attack and shows good knee bend and anchor. Mbow is a road grader in the ground game and when working to the second level. | Very notable lack of length (33-inch arms) and struggles with balance. Footwork and play strength both hinder his ability to anchor against power rushers. Can definitely clean things up on an island and in space. |
OVERVIEW: Purdue fans were lucky to have Mbow for nearly 2,000 snaps over a four-year span. He first earned starting reps at right guard as a redshirt-freshman in 2022 before making the full-time switch to right tackle for his final two seasons. He allowed just one sack over 300 pass-blocking snaps in Big Ten play and paved the way on the ground for multiple 200-yard rushing games too. It's likely he'll fit better into a zone scheme as a tackle, but could fit anywhere as a guard.
