Scouting Report: Strengths
- Stays low in his backpedal and shows the click-and-close ability to break up plays in front of him. Muhammad can move well laterally and shows excellent instincts when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
- Tracks the ball well and has the natural ball skills for forcing turnovers.
- Has the quick feet to mirror receivers underneath. He also has the fluid hips and top-end speed to turn and run downfield. Muhammad shows good awareness when dropping into zone coverage, with good route recognition and the ability to break quickly and cover a lot of ground.
- Does a good job getting his head around in time when playing with his back to the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to cover quickness underneath.
- Has at least adequate straight-line speed and good balance, fluidity to change direction.
- Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Doesn’t bring much physicality, as Muhammad seems unsure moving downhill as a run defender and doesn’t deliver much pop as a tackler.
- Struggles to break down in space and can be a liability against the run at the second level.
- Susceptible to double moves, though that could be coached out of him. But the problem is that he doesn’t track the ball downfield, and he seems to lack the ball skills to break up plays.
