You could say that Eddie Muhammad is a student of the game of football.
The strategy of the game appeals to him, but what Muhammad loves most is its physical nature. Muhammad adores players who hit the field with an aggressive streak. It is no surprise then that his favorite player of all-time is Steelers Hall of Famer "Mean" Joe Greene.
Muhammad taught his son, Eddie Goldman, to follow in his appreciation of the sport. Even before Goldman began to play football in the eighth grade, Muhammad would show his son film of players to emulate, such as Greene.
