Early life

Mohammed was mainly a soccer player in elementary school, but peer pressure compelled him to play football.

Muhammad was also a school linebacker and he ran back at Waverly.

On February 28, 2007, Muhammad's high school alma mater received a special award for donating $50,000 worth of equipment to the school's fitness center, which was renamed in his honour.
In 1999, the Carolina Panthers named Muhammad as one of the year's "Man of the Year" for his charity and volunteer work.
Professional career
With the 43rd overall pick, the Carolina Panthers selected Muhammad in the 1996 NFL Draft's second round. Muhammad played for two seasons in 1998 and 1998, leading the Panthers with 68 receptions, six touchdowns, and nearly 1,000 yards.
Muhammad's 1999 season under new head coach George Seifert's 96 receptions, eight touchdowns, and 1,253 receiving yards culminated in his first Pro Bowl selection. During the 2000 season, his 102 receptions tied for the NFL lead. Muhammad averaged over 1,000 yards per season from 1998 to 2000.
Mohammed was hospitalized for a large portion of the 2001 NFL season, but he returned to form and later played a key role in the Carolina Panthers' Super Bowl XXVIII run in 2003. Despite the fact that the Panthers lost to the AFC Champion New England Patriots 29-32, Muhammad had the longest touchdown reception (85 yards) in Super Bowl history.
Muhammad's play in the 2004 season, where he led the NFL with a career-high 1,405 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns, earned him his second Pro Bowl invitation. Muhammad held all of the Panthers' receiving records, including captures (578), receiving yards (7,751), 100-yard games (26), and the top three single-game yardage totals (192, 179). In addition, he tied Wesley Walls for 44 touchdown receptions.
Muhammad, who was due a $10 million roster raise and the Panthers couldn't reach an agreement after the 2004 season, was released in February 2005. The Chicago Bears gave the 32-year-old a six-year deal, and Muhammad left Charlotte for Chicago just hours after his release.
Muhammad's first match with the Panthers was plagued with numerous negative experiences. Kerry Collins, his quarterback, was the object of a racist insult, appeared at murder trials for Rae Carruth and Deidra Lane (wife of Fred Lane); and was arrested in 2003 on misdemeanor firearms and firearms offenses.
During his first year with the Bears, Muhammad was one of the team's most feared players. He was also responsible for improving the team's receiving corps's work ethic and assisting young wide receivers such as Bernard Berrian, Mark Bradley, and Rashied Davis.
Despite struggling to get several poorly kicked passes from rookie quarterback Kyle Orton, Muhammad remained accountable and told reporters that his results would rise. Muhammad was later seen yelling Orton during a Sunday Night Football game against the Atlanta Falcons. Coach Lovie Smith abandoned Orton in favour of a fully recovered Rex Grossman after Muhammad's shaming.
Muhammad's numbers increased with Rex Grossman at quarterback in the 2006 season. In his season opener against the Green Bay Packers and his second against the Minnesota Vikings on Week 3, he had his first one hundred yards with the Bears and a second against the Minnesota Vikings. However, after the season's midway point, Grossman began to play inconsistently. Muhammad defended Grossman from criticism and often endorsed him at press conferences. For the second straight season, Muhammad was the team's top wide receiver.
Muhammad's age is evidently affected his tenacity. Despite playing all sixteen games in 2006, the Bears rated him as likely or questionable before several games. He revealed that he had played through the 2005 season with a broken hand during the 2005 season.
Muhammad had a rough year in 2007, and the Bears cut him on February 18, 2008.
Muhammad told Sports Illustrated Chicago, "where wide receivers go to die" after leaving the Bears. Darryl Drake, the team's wide receiver coach, was taken note of the remark. Though Drake expressed surprise at Muhammad's remark, he argued that former Bears wide receivers Bernard Berrian, Justin Gage, and Bobby Wade all flourished in Chicago and enjoyed lucrative careers after leaving.
Muhammad signed a two-year deal with his former team, the Carolina Panthers, just nine days after the Bears released him. He became the 29th player in NFL history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards on September 14, while playing against the Bears. With 65 receptions for 923 yards and five touchdowns, he ended the season on a high note.
Muhammad made 53 passes for 581 yards and a touchdown in the 2009 season. He retired from professional football after 14 seasons in the NFL.
