Moderators Jeff Howe Posted 1 hour ago Moderators Posted 1 hour ago Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad is off the board on Saturday, as the Chicago Bears picked the Longhorns cornerback with the 124th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Muhammad, a three-year contributor for Texas, played in 39 career games, starting two games a freshman, all 16 as a sophomore, and nine as a junior. The Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff product compiled 97 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for a loss, a sack, 19 pass breakups, and three interceptions over the course of his career in Burnt Orange. “Texas has prepared me very well, like overly prepared,” Muhammad said after his Texas Pro Day workout. “The program that Sark runs is like a pro program when it comes to time management, the structure of our day, the way we practice, the way we lift weights, the way we run. And then he just preaches to us about being a great person and a great man, whether you’re a husband, a father, a brother, a teammate, anyway possible, he just preaches about being a great man. Texas has definitely prepared us for these moments.” The former four-star recruit is the fourth defensive back to get drafted from Texas over the last three drafts, joining Jahdae Barron and Andrew Mukuba in 2025 and Ryan Watts in 2024.

Go be great malik!! agreed...I've seen lot's of players nowhere near his level that played for a long time in the NFL. Not sure why he wasn't selected sooner, but he'll be very good at the NFL level.
