Malik Muhammad: Jets' Draft Target at Cornerback
About this episode
Malik Muhammad, a six-foot, one hundred eighty-two-pound junior cornerback from Texas, is gaining attention for the New York Jets in the 2026 NFL draft. With a consensus round four draft stock, Muhammad excels in zone coverage and has smooth hips for quick breaks on the ball. Hes versatile in multiple schemes but has inconsistencies as a tackler and durability concerns due to his slim build. In eleven games last season, he posted twenty-three solo tackles, two interceptions, and four passes defended, earning a seventy point eight PFF grade. With the Jets holding nine picks, including first-rounders at number two and number sixteen, Muhammads ball skills make him a player to watch as draft boards solidify.

0:00It's April 22nd, NFL news today starts now, AI powered and always on. With the NFL draft kicking off tomorrow, all eyes are on the New York Jets and their potential move for Arizona State wide receiver Jordan Tyson. Scouts are calling him the top receiver in this class, hands down, and he could go as high as the top 10 picks. To snack him that early, General Manager Darren Mugi might have to trade away the team's second round pick, number 44 overall. That pick came from the Dallas Cowboys and the Quinn and Williams deal last year. Meanwhile, Ohio State's carnailate is also in the top 10 conversation as the consensus number one wide out for next year's class. But the Jets seem way more excited about Tyson, even with his rough injury history holding him back. If Tyson slides into the teams, expect the Jets to start dialing for a trade-up. His talent shines through the medical reports for some teams. That sets the stage for some wild wheeling and dealing as a draft unfolds.
1:00Stay locked in for how it plays out.
