Bears draft Malik Muhammad, No. 124

sportsApr 25, 20261590

The Chicago Bears selected Texas cornerback Malik Muhammad with the 124th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Chicago traded up five spots in the fourth round to take Muhammad, using their first Day 3 pick to bolster the secondary. Scouts praise Muhammad's coverage instincts and lateral agility in zone schemes but note his slim build and inconsistent top-end speed could limit press matchups. His 9.51 RAS and a standout performance against Ohio State underline upside as a sub-package or slot corner for the Bears.
