Screening report
“When comparing height, Murphy compares to last year’s No. 1 overall selection – Travon Walker. Murphy is a good athlete but realistically he’s not going to match Walker’s historic performance in the NFL Combine. Murphy is more exposed to what would be considered a traditional rushing role than Walker at the same point in his career.The former shows active hands and an ability to turn speed into power.
