The standout defender has caught the eye of the Dallas Cowboys with his athleticism and college production. He recently met with multiple teams at the NFL Combine and now has a two-day visit schedule with Dallas. Muhammad built a strong resume at Texas, racking up 97 tackles, 16 pass breakups and three picks over his career. His Combine workout turned heads too, highlighted by a 4.42 second 40 yard dash, a 39 inch vertical leap, and a 10 foot. 10 broad jump. Even with those solid numbers, Muhammad admits he fell short of his own expectations. He had trained for faster times and higher jumps, but didn't quite hit his marks. Scouts love the results, but he knows he has more to give. The Cowboys are shifting their defense under new coordinator Christian Parker, who prioritizes versatile players like Muhammad.
