Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 74.25 (Roster depth)
Pro Comparison: Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
Summary
Francisco Mauigoa is a tall, well-built off-ball linebacker with plus athleticism and an aggressive, attacking play style. He triggers quickly downhill, covers ground with long strides and flashes sideline-to-sideline range, though his pursuit angles and instincts are still developing. His change-of-direction ability allows him to stay with backs behind the line, and he's an explosive, effective blitzer who regularly overwhelms pass blockers. While tackling consistency and block shedding remain concerns, his physical tools suggest upside in both areas. In coverage, he has the movement skills to contribute but needs polish, particularly in man assignments. Mauigoa isn’t raw, but he’ll need refinement to reach his full potential.

Jets' Francisco Mauigoa: Selected in Round 5 by Jets
The Jets selected Mauigoa in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 162nd overall.
Mauigoa spent the last two seasons at Miami and was an All-ACC contributor in each campaign. His success in college was based primarily on his motor and work ethic, something that should carry over into the pros. Mauigoa will be competing for a role on special teams during camp.
