Draft Profile: Bio
Moose Muhammad III, a junior wide receiver from Texas A&M, brings a mix of highlight-reel potential and raw talent to the NFL Draft conversation. The son of former NFL wideout Muhsin Muhammad II, he's carved out his own path in College Station. Muhammad III arrived as a highly touted 4-star recruit out of Myers Park High School in North Carolina, where he racked up 1,270 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior.His collegiate career has been marked by flashes of brilliance and steady improvement. After redshirting in 2020, Muhammad III made an immediate impact as a freshman, notching four touchdown grabs in limited action. His sophomore campaign saw a significant leap, earning PFF Second Team All-SEC honors while showcasing his big-play ability. He recorded multiple 100-yard games, including a standout performance against Mississippi State with 119 yards and a score.
In his junior season, Muhammad III continued to be a reliable target in the Aggies' passing attack. He appeared in all 12 games, amassing 345 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His season highlight came against ACU, where he exploded for 104 yards and a touchdown on just four catches, demonstrating his ability to stretch the field and create after the catch.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Exceptional ball skills and body control, consistently making difficult catches and adjusting to off-target throws
- Displays impressive vertical ability and timing on contested catches, using his 6'1" frame effectively against defenders
- Shows good straight-line speed with a 4.48 40-yard dash, allowing him to threaten defenses vertically
- Natural hands-catcher who plucks the ball away from his body with consistent technique
- Demonstrates above-average burst off the line of scrimmage, helping him gain early separation
- Exhibits a knack for finding soft spots in zone coverage, particularly on intermediate routes
- Possesses the agility and balance to create yards after catch, turning short receptions into longer gains
- Displays toughness over the middle, willing to absorb contact to secure catches in traffic
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Route-running lacks refinement and precision, often rounding off breaks and telegraphing intentions to defensive backs
- Struggles to consistently create separation against press coverage, needing to improve his release techniques
- Shows inconsistent effort and technique as a blocker in the run game, limiting his effectiveness in this area
- Can improve play strength to better handle physical corners and maintain positioning on contested catches
- Needs to develop a more diverse route tree to become a complete receiver at the next level
Scouting Report: Summary
Muhammad III projects as a developmental prospect with upside at the next level. His natural ball skills and ability to make difficult catches will certainly attract NFL scouts. However, he'll need to refine his route-running and improve his consistency to secure a significant role in the pros.Scheme fit will be crucial for Muhammad III's success. He could thrive in an offense that emphasizes vertical routes and allows him to utilize his leaping ability and body control on contested catches. His current skill set suggests he could contribute early as a rotational deep threat and red zone target while he develops the nuances of the position.
With continued improvement, particularly in his route-running and ability to create separation, Muhammad III has the potential to develop into a solid WR2 or high-end WR3 in the right system.
