Jabbar Muhammad Runs 40-Yard Dash At Pro Day

Jabbar Muhammad didn't run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, but did run at Oregon's Pro Day. Muhammad recorded a time of 4.47 seconds.

The best 40-yard dash time in the 2025 NFL Combine by a cornerback was 4.28 seconds by Kentucky Wildcats cornerback Maxwell Hairston. Muhammad's 4.47 second time would have been the 14th best time out of all cornerbacks that participated in the drill at the 2025 NFL Combine.

"I've been in three different schemes. I've been an eraser in every single scheme," Muhammad said.

As for those saying he is too small, Muhammad simply says to "watch the film."
