Early Myles Murphy Panic

[Nepa]

Two years ago, during training camp and preseason games, there was major concern among some Bengals fans and major media sports commentators that Ja'Marr Chase couldn't catch an NFL football. I'm sure everyone remembers that. You know, the lack of stripes on the ball, the size, etc. It was drops, drops, drops -- which they felt were going to continue into the regular season. Some were calling him a bust as an early first round pick. One brilliant soul on this board said he didn't even deserve to make the 53. (Based on this panic, Chase lasted pretty far down on some fantasy drafts. My son didn't believe the hype and was able to get him for a steal in his fantasy drafts.)

I'm going to give Zero (0) credibility to Myles Murphy being a bust for a first round pick based on practice and pre-season games.
