Thus Mailata is the second player in NFL history to Moritz Bohringer , who was drafted, but not previously in the United States at the College played.

Mailata also struggled with back problems in preparation for the 2019 season . Since the injury persisted at Mailata, he was again put on the Injured Reserve List by the Eagles after the second week of the new season.
