The moose is loose.
From Aggieland to a possible NFL team waiting for the next secret Wide Receiver to help transform a football club, comes Muhsin "Moose" Muhammad III.
Muhammad, a Texas A&M graduate and Aggie football player who played Wide Receiver for the team from 2020 to 2024, feels he is ready to play at the professional level despite not getting much attention for his playing talents under former football Coach Jimbo Fisher and head coach Mike Elko.
Muhammad declared himself for the NFL Draft even though he never got an invitation to the NFL Combine to test his strengths in running, the 20-yard shuttle, and catching abilities.
What gives Muhammad his confidence in taking advantage of his football skills and talents to the National Football League?
Maybe it's his father, Muhsin Muhammad II, a former Pro-Bowl NFL Player who played 18 seasons in the NFL with teams such as the Carolina Panthers and the Chicago Bears. A pro-bowl player, Muhammad's dad holds the NFL record for longest touchdown reception by a Wide Receiver with 85 yards in Super Bowl XXXVIII where his team, the Carolina Panthers lost to the New England Patriots 29-32 on February 1, 2004 in Houston, Texas.
Muhammad has the mentorship and coaching strategies of his father to help guide him along the way in addition to his history with the Aggie coaching staff who helped mold and guide the young receiver.
In Aggieland, Muhammad recorded 81 catches for 1,163 yards and 12 touchdowns in his days as an Aggie football player.
If he does get selected during the NFL Draft from April 24 - April 26, teams that could select him include the Dallas Cowboys, Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos or the Green Bay Packers.
In the NFL, it takes two to tango, especially at the Wide Receiver position where the Quarterback needs to rely on more than one receiver to give the offensive unit the ability to march, run or fly into the endzone.
Maybe Muhammad can develop his own touchdown dance like his father did during his playing days.
For one thing, Muhammad never quit on the Aggies and transferred out, as many college athletes have, especially since the NIL rule went into effect.
Nope, Muhammad stayed with Texas A&M, finished his college career there with his college diploma in hand, making his father and family proud.
That type of commitment is what many NFL owners and coaches want in a player despite the League being known as a "business."
For the fans of the game, NFL players are more than just a business, but a part of a family for the community it represents.
That may be the strongest point for Muhammad, coming from Texas A&M University where you are part of the Aggie Family.
For Muhammad, not only is he part of the Aggie family but also a future NFL family is awaiting to test his talents.
