Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Cordale Flott
Summary
Malik Muhammad is a lighter cornerback with good instincts in coverage. Many of his weaknesses stem from a lack of ideal play strength, though that same profile could lead to positional versatility down the road. Muhammad projects as at least an average NFL starter.
About
- 2025: Career-high 2 INT in win over Oklahoma
- 2024-25: 10 PD (tied for third-most in SEC)
Strengths
- Good click-and-close ability to break on the ball.
- Fluid hips to transition across the field in man coverage.
- Strong communicator in zone coverage.
- Overall good athlete who competed in three sports in high school.
Weaknesses
- Lacks ideal mass to consistently re-route bigger receivers at the line of scrimmage.
- Willing in run support, but struggles to finish tackles (16.1% missed tackle rate over the past two seasons, per TruMedia).
- Limited length to consistently challenge bigger receivers at the catch point.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.42 seconds
- Vertical jump: 39 inches
- Broad jump: 10 feet, 10 inches

Bears' Malik Muhammad: Scooped up by Chicago
The Bears selected Muhammad in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 124th overall.
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.
