I made note of this as well. Possibly a good sign for McBride. But, it was also a pretty week class for running backs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Watched a fair bit of Gabriel Murphy tape and wow does he stand out. Relentless motor, great athlete and has some pass rush moves. Â Could be a bigger UDFA steal than Pace Jr. if he reaches his potential 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Chances of Nester, McGlothern, Murphy and Jones making the roster as UDFA are moderately decent. Depends on how they perform but guys like Nester and Jones there is not much competition for them to go up against, especially at backup OG. McGlothern probably has the most competition in terms of bodies but clearly solid play can beat most of those CBs out.   Would be great if Rouse could play OG but I assume he will be more of a backup RT or LT and could beat out Quessenberry for both spots sooner rather than later.  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at his RAS scores and when you have his position set to DE he looks really undersized but if you look at his RAS as a Linebacker he's got relatively good size. He's got elite explosiveness, an elite 10 yard split in the 40 which I think translate on the field.  Yeah he's got shorter than ideal arms but who cares if the tackle can't catch him? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy can 100% succeed in the NFL. And I think he's perfect for Flores. Here's his comp to Van Ginkel: https://imgur.com/a/yZQmEXG 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can kinda maybe see how Flores envisions Murphy can be used. KVN has carved out a great career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
