PLAYER ANALYSIS
Small-school offensive lineman with good athleticism, core strength and position flexibility. Murphy has starting experience at tackle, guard and center, but is a likely center/guard projection. His size and strength were good for his level of competition but may be an early challenge in the NFL. He's an average drive blocker, but might be quick enough to get to challenging angles as a move blocker. Murphy's pass protection is a strength, with the anchor and slide quickness to match up with a variety of rush styles. He should offer good backup depth with a chance to bump up the depth chart in the future.
