Overview
Another in the line of talented Florida receivers, Murphy hopes to change the group's poor reputation among NFL scouts. Despite his good size and great speed (ran anchor on state-winning 4x400 relay team in high school), Florida's other speedy playmakers overshadow Murphy's attributes and prevent him from putting up big numbers.
He averaged 38 catches for 602 yards (15.8 avg.) and 6.5 touchdowns the past two seasons. In other offenses, Murphy could have been a 1,000-yard receiver.
NFL teams hope they can give him a chance to be that type of receiver. Coach Urban Meyer has said Murphy improved as a player and a person as much as anyone he has coached. Had an arm span of 33 5/8 inches and a hand span of 10 inches at the combine.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
