Professional career
DSFL
Dallas Birddogs (2035-present)
Muhammad was selected in Round 19 with the 149th overall pick in the DSFL Draft by the Dallas Birddogs prior to the 2036 season.
2035
Muhmmad began his rookie season at the safety position, but was later moved to cornerback. He experienced early success before losing momentum en route to a mediocre but respectable season. His breakout game occurred in week 3, where he recorded 7 tackles and 1 interception. He made a repeat performance the following week, however was benched at free safety for Hamish MacAndrew during week 5 and 6. Muhammad then returned to the lineup during week 7, where he instead started at cornerback. The Dallas Birddogs finished the 2035 season with a 5-9 record with much speculation about the future of their rookies, including Muhammad. Muhammad made his intentions clear after the 2036 season culminated. He stated that although he would consider jumping into the NSFL, his priorities are with returning to the Birddogs due to some "unfinished business."
