Myles Murphy declared for the 2023 NFL Draft as one of the NFL media’s most lauded prospects. Murphy has the athletic ability, the speed-to-power transition, and the tools to be a pass rushing monster in the NFL. His motor looks good (for the most part) and Murphy should be able to settle into just about any four-man front and become a monster off the edge. An exciting prospect for the NFL, and I really like his game.
