In addition to their nine draft picks, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed 22 undrafted rookies as well, following the 2025 NFL draft.
Just as we did with each of the nine selections, let's take a closer look at each of the Jaguars' UDFAs. Up next is Oregon cornerback Jabbar Muhammad.
An experienced college player, with nearly 2,900 total defensive snaps. He was a starter at Oklahoma State in 2022, a starter at Washington in 2023, and a starter with Oregon in 2024.
Throughout his career, Muhammad has been stingy in coverage, allowing a completion rate of just 54% and 12.0 yards per catch. He's also had excellent ball production, which includes 22 pass breakups over the last two years alone, along with three interceptions during that span.
In 2024 specifically, Muhammad's tackling greatly improved, and he allowed just 29 receptions on 64 targets (47%). Pass catchers averaged 13.3 yards per catch, and as alluded to, Muhammad had 10 pass breakups, per PFF.
Out of 200-plus eligible cornerbacks, Muhammad ranked 40th in forced incompletion rate.
Most of his career snaps have come lined up outside, but he does have some slot experience as well. Also of note, Muhammad has played 277 career special teams snaps, most of which have come on the kick coverage and punt return units.
Lance Zierlein, NFL.com: "Three-year starter with each of the three seasons coming at different schools. Muhammad is on the small side as a perimeter cornerback. He’s much better in press and run technique than mirroring and matching the release. His footwork and body control are average in space, but he has some burst that, along with his ball skills, create a higher number of contested throws. That said, Muhammad might not have the cover tools and functional run support to make an NFL roster as a backup nickelback."
