Phil Mafah, the powerful and dependable running back from Clemson, has officially been drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the 7th round of the 2025 NFL Draft—a huge milestone in his football journey. Known for his physical running style, strong vision, and ability to pick up tough yards, Mafah has been a key piece of the Tigers’ offense, especially in high-pressure situations.
At Clemson, Mafah earned respect not only for his on-field performance but also for his leadership and consistency. He averaged over 5 yards per carry in his final season and showcased his versatility as both a rusher and a reliable pass protector—traits that likely caught the attention of Dallas’ front office.
For the Cowboys, Mafah brings valuable depth to the backfield, and his skill set could make him an immediate contributor on special teams or short-yardage downs. For Mafah, it’s the beginning of a new chapter with one of the NFL’s most iconic franchises.
Congratulations, Phil—you’ve made Tiger Nation proud!
