An interior defender with good size, Murphy lacks a consistent batting average when it comes to defeating blocks and making plays. Murphy appears heavier and slower than he has previously, and his sphere of influence has shrunk accordingly. He does play with good power, but a lack of lower-body bend makes it harder for him to anchor and hold his spot consistently. He's not much of a pass rusher, so he will need to play with more consistency at the point of attack in order to make a roster as a backup interior defender.
