Mulumba already had ties to the Bombers as current Bombers defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan coached Mulumba at Eastern Michigan. But the Bombers will have to wait for his services as Mulumba recently signed a contract with the NFL’s Green Bay Packers.

The 23-year-old Mulumba is 6 foot 3, 295 pounds, and was born in the Congo. He was a two-year starter at Eastern Michigan and was voted All-Conference as a senior after posting 73 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, one forced fumble and one sack.
“We are ecstatic to get a player of Andy’s calibre with the second overall selection today,” general manager Joe Mack said in a news release. “An extremely talented and gifted athlete, this pick will help us solidify our defensive front, and we’re looking forward to him donning our uniform and becoming a Blue Bomber.”
The Bombers also had the 11th overall pick in the second round, where they took defensive back Kristopher Robertson out of Concordia.
