2021 was a breakout season for Muhammad, where recorded 48 tackles, 13 quarterback hits and a career-high six sacks. His fourth season in the NFL was his first as a regular starter.
While Muhammad's production increased last season, Eberflus said he has been the same guy since Year 1 and has always had the ability to be a playmaker. Eberflus is confident Muhammad will be just as proficient in Chicago.
Muhammad's constant effort is no coincidence. The 6-foot-3, 250-pounder learned the importance of a consistent work ethic at a young age and never wavered from that mindset.
"You don't want to have to think, 'I need to go hard.' It needs to be a natural reaction," Muhammad said. "By doing it every day on Sundays, it's just natural, like 'wow, this dude play lights out, he plays hard.' It becomes natural instinct. I think that it actually makes the game that much easier when you do it every day in practice, so that's something I take pride in."
That natural reaction on the field will be easier to see in the coming days as the Bears put the pads on in training camp for the first time Tuesday. Even with a few training camps under his belt, Muhammad still smiles when talking about the first day of pads.
In addition to putting on pads for the first time in training camp, he's also ready to be able to critique himself better on film and continue adjusting to help him towards his most important goal this season: Hit the quarterback as many times as possible. While Muhammad can't necessarily practice sacking the quarterback during training camp, he is more focused on what it takes to get there, then making them count on Sundays.
