The Buffalo Bills are staying active on the NFL Draft Run, even as free agency heats

up.

They recently met with Texas defensive back Malik Muhammad, a versatile player who could

help shore up their secondary.

The 21-year-old stands six feet tall and weighs 180 pounds, and he's drawing interest

for multiple teams.

Muhammad has been busy with pre-draft meetings.

He had a formal interview with the Atlanta Falcons at the NFL Combine, and he's got

a two-day visit lined up with the Dallas Cowboys.

He's also connected virtually with the Washington commanders and Carolina Panthers, with another

Panthers sit down coming soon, plus chats with the New Orleans Saints and the Bills.

In three seasons at Texas, Muhammad played in 41 games, racking of 97 tackles, three

interceptions, and 16 passes defense.

Last year, he hit career highs with two picks.

Two-and-a-half tackles for loss, and one sack, while holding opponents to a 57.8.

Passer rating when targeted.

The Bills lost key cornerbacks, Taren Johnson, and Dane Jackson this off-season, signing D

Alfred to help, but they still need outside depth.

Muhammad sees himself best as an outside corner, which aligns with new defensive coordinator,

Jim Lee and Hart's push for flexible, positionless players in.

An odd man front scheme.

Meanwhile, Muhammad boosted his stock at the Combine with a 4.4 240-yard dash, a strong

10-yard split, and a 39-inch vertical jump.

Analysts highlight his run support and coverage skills from nearly 2,000 snaps, making him

a solid potential fit for Buffalo, as draft day.

Nears.
