"Murphy's Law" | Byron Murphy Washington Highlights

Описание: In a rare feat, Murphy was an All-American high school receiver (88-1,733, 21 TDs) at Saguaro High in the Phoenix area, and also a finalist for an award for the top defensive back in high school football (seven INTs). The top 100 national recruit signed with UW to play cornerback, redshirting his first year on campus and winning the team's Defensive Scout Player of the Year for his work at practice. His freshman year began and ended with three starts, but he lost seven midseason games to a broken foot suffered in practice. He played well in a return to Arizona that year, making seven tackles, two for loss, a sack, and an interception against Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl. Murphy's sophomore season met high expectations, as he earned first-team All-Pac-12 and second-team Associated Press All-American accolades. In 13 starts, he collected 58 tackles, four for loss, and led the team with four interceptions (one returned for a score) and 13 pass deflections. He and Arizona State receiver N'Keal Harry attended high school together their sophomore years and have remained close friends ever since.

Ball-hawking man corner who makes up for a lack of physical tools with outstanding instincts, toughness, and short-area quickness. Murphy's ball production per target is as good as you will find thanks to an innate ability to process the quarterback and route development simultaneously. His long speed is below average and will panic and start grabbing when he ends up in an unexpected trail position. His short-area twitch and run support toughness could make him an early target for teams looking for help at the nickel.
