REPORT: Dallas Cowboys Land Lamar Jackson's Cousin Who's Also A Former Top Prospect
The Dallas Cowboys have been running into a bit of bad luck as far as the injury bug is concerned. They lost Terence Steele for the season to a torn ACL. They lost Johnathan Hankins for at least until the playoffs. In an effort to shore that position up they recently signed defensive tackle Anthony Rush.
Cornerback has been another position hit hard. With Jourdan Lewis already out, then Anthony Brown going down, the Cowboys have been adding cornerbacks. Today, they added another but this time they got him off waivers.
Mullen, who was a star at Clemson, was drafted by the Las Vegas Raiders during the second round of the 2019 NFL draft. He displayed impressive pace at the NFL combine, running the 40-yard sprint in 4.46 seconds and recording a vertical of 34.5 in.
Mullen logged 26 starts in his first two seasons with the Raiders (3 INTs, 24 pass breakups in that time span) before ultimately landing with the Cardinals in 2022 via trade, but couldn't crack the starting rotation in Arizona.
The corner is also the cousin of Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. They both mention that they are still very close.
