The NFL is increasingly full of stars like Rob Gronkowski, George Kittle, and Travis Kelce. Muse also has the potential to be the type of player that every coach in the NFL covets - someone who has the size, strength, and speed to cover opposing tight ends one-on-one. He will excel if given opportunities to play inside the box, as well as in coverage. Doing so would cut out half of his playmaking abilities. While he can hold his own in coverage, the Raiders would be unwise to use him as a traditional safety. He likely profiles as a safety hybrid player who can impact both the pass and run defense. He has blistering speed to keep up with his opponents in coverage, excellent power as a tackler, great flexibility, and a motor that never stops. 49ers expected to place DE Dee Ford on injured reserve.49ers: George Kittle and Deebo Samuel cleared to return to practice.Oakland Athletics win Game 2 of Wild Card round with late-inning drama.49ers sign new long snapper amidst a flurry of roster moves.

If he is able to earn that role, his presence on the roster will also allow either Heath or Randall to provide excellent depth as a third safety. Muse should immediately contend for a starting position this season. He also had the opportunity to consistently defend NFL-level players while playing at the powerhouse school. He was a key cog for an extremely successfully Clemson defense.

The addition of Muse offers the Raiders legitimate upside at the safety position. However, neither had the playmaking abilities to be major difference-makers for the team. Both would have been solid starting options in 2020. Randall on the other hand bounced between the Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns while also assuming a staring role in 2017.īoth are the epitome of average NFL players. Heath was a longtime member of the Dallas Cowboys who took over as a consistent starter in 2017. Las Vegas was slated to enter the season with Johnathan Abram and Damarious Randall as their starting safeties with Jeff Heath pitching in as well. Muse adds a legitimate talent to one of the franchise’s biggest positional needs.
