Jabbar Muhammad NFL Draft 2025 Scouting Report for Jacksonville Jaguars CB

The Jacksonville Jaguars added Oregon CB Jabbar Muhammad as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft.

Muhammad is a quick-twitch cornerback with the versatility to play both outside and in the slot.

Despite being undersized, Muhammad compensates with competitiveness and a strong football IQ.

Jabbar Muhammad Highlights

00:30

Muhammad excels in zone coverage, leveraging his understanding of routes and quick footwork to stay in position. His ball skills stand out, as he consistently gets his head around to locate the ball and shows great timing to break up passes. However, his lack of top-end speed and inconsistent footwork can lead to separation, especially against bigger receivers. He struggles in press coverage, where his smaller frame gets overpowered, and allows separation at the line of scrimmage.

In run support, Muhammad is aggressive and eager to contribute. He quickly engages, taking on blocks or slipping through to make tackles, and despite his size, he is a reliable tackler. His physicality shows up in his willingness to engage in contact and support the edge.

Jabbar Muhammad projects as a day-three pick with the potential to develop into a valuable role player. Though his best chance of seeing the field would be as a nickel, his versatility and ball skills make him an attractive option for zone-heavy schemes. However, improving his consistency in coverage and adding strength to handle bigger receivers will be key to his success.
