2026 Projections
Scooped up by Chicago
The Bears selected Muhammad in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 124th overall.
ANALYSIS
Muhammad (6-feet, 182 pounds) is perhaps on the smaller side for a boundary corner, but the former Texas standout has good reach (32 and 3/8-inch arms) for press purposes and his 4.42-second 40 demonstrates enough recovery speed to buy the idea of Muhammad starting down the road. He might be able to put some heat on Tyrique Stevenson for the second boundary corner role behind Jaylon Johnson as soon as this year.

Intriguing cover CB prospect
Muhammad is the 87th-ranked prospect in the comprehensive 2026 NFL Draft guide put together by Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Muhammad will likely need to add some muscle to his 6-foot, 182-pound frame to avoid being outmuscled by NFL receivers, but the cornerback demonstrated excellent coverage ability at Texas, allowing only two completions of more than 12 yards across 11 starts in 2025. He notched 19 passes defensed over three years with the Longhorns.
