The bowl season gives fans and scouts alike a chance to analyze NFL Draft prospects against solid competition. Bowl scheduling allows all eyes to be on each game. Here are the NFL Draft prospects in the 2021 Famous Idaho Bowl.
Kent State Golden Flashes Draft Prospects
Dustin Crum, QB
Crum has had a long and successful career as the quarterback of the Golden Flashes. He has passed for 7,155 yards, 51 touchdowns and 12 interceptions on 66.8 percent completion in his career. This season he has 2,941 passing yards, 16 touchdowns and six interceptions on 64.2 percent completion. He has proven himself as a runner with 2,001 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground over his career.
He has decent size for an NFL quarterback at 6-foot-3 and 207 pounds. Crum has some potential to be a backup quarterback at the next level because of his scrambling ability and his accuracy. He will likely go undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft, but will likely get some invites to training camps.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Keshun Abram, WR
Abram started his career at the JUCO level, but transferred to Kent State for the last three seasons of his collegiate career. He really only produced for one season at Kent State, which was this season. Abram has 46 catches for 676 yards and three touchdowns for his career.
At 6-foot-2 and 193 pounds, Abram has average size for an NFL receiver. His draft stock is hurt by the fact that he only has one season of production at Kent State. He still may have done enough to get invited to a training camp.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
Wyoming Cowboys Draft Prospects
Chad Muma, LB
Muma is a linebacker who has improved every single season he has spent with the Cowboys. He has 253 total tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss and five sacks in his career. This season, he has tallied a career-high for tackles with 129 and also has 7.5 tackles for loss and one sack.
He is 6-foot-3 and 242 pounds, which is great size for an NFL linebacker. Muma has specifically been good against the run in his college career. As a senior, Muma is likely headed to the NFL rather than going back for an extra COVID season. He is currently projected to be a mid-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Projected Draft Range: Third Round Pick-Fifth Round Pick
Valladay has received playing time ever since his freshman season at Wyoming. That has helped him post 3,195 rushing yards, 584 receiving yards and 20 total touchdowns in his career. This season, he has 984 rushing yards, 233 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
He has has a good build for a running back at 6-foot and 198 pounds. His improved ability as a pass-catcher will help his value for the NFL. While he may not be selected in the 2022 NFL Draft, Valladay will likely get invited to training camps.
Projected Draft Range: Undrafted Free Agent
