Murphy, who is projected to be a top 10 pick in the upcoming draft, said on Tuesday that he will skip the Orange Bowl and enter the draft.
Murphy is one of the best defensive ends in the draft. He is expected to join a long line of defensive linemen who have gone high in the draft.
Murphy said that it came fast when he was at the school. Three years ago, I was about to go to college. It was a quick change. The next chapter of my life is about to begin. I go back to the family when I make big decisions. We all agreed that it was the best choice.
Murphy is a 4-3 end who is expected to bring elite speed to that position. The 40-yard dash is expected to be in the range of 4.5 seconds. Murphy said that he is unique due to his speed and power.
Murphy said that he has good strength in his long arm moves. Being able to be a very fast defensive end and a very powerful speed rusher are just some of the things that make me. The offensive linemen have to think about the things that are different.
Murphy is projected to be a top-5 pick in the draft by Matt Miller.
He had 36.0 tackles for loss and 18.5 sacks in his three years at the school. He was named to the first team of the All-ACC.
Murphy said that when a team picks him, they will get a very elite player. The sky can't be bigger. The better player I know I can be is the one who works harder.
The mix of people in the defensive line room was something Murphy appreciated.
He said that they had a bond when they practiced the last time. It was going to be the most difficult thing. The whole defensive line. There's a mix of people. It's making every day interesting and funny.
