Myles Murphy Is Impressing!

[BFritz21]

ESPN has a report on first impressions from all 31 first-round picks and it sounds like Murphy is a player to be excited about for us!

Quote:The combination of size and speed that Murphy displayed at his Clemson pro day has been evident during offseason workouts. He has looked as explosive as advertised in the team's position drills. Murphy's reps have predominantly been with the backups, but the Bengals had a handful of 7-on-7 reps during mandatory minicamp. Cincinnati wants Murphy to be on the field for key pass-rushing situations as the Bengals try to increase their pressure rate.

His size and speed is going to be a hell of a weapon and having him come in on pass-rushing situations is going to be a nightmare for offensive linemen!

I love that he's putting in work in position drills because, as anyone that plays football knows, those seem pointless, but you get in team drills and games and your instincts from all those drills just take over and you react without thinking.

Fine-tuning his game for the pros is also very important.

He's even impressing his teammates, which I love because, impressing your teammates helps build confidence and makes other players work hard to elevate their games.

Quote:Murphy already has an approval stamp from receiver Tee Higgins, a fellow former Clemson player.

"Lot of my friends that played with him say he's a good guy," Higgins said. "Hopefully he can come in and make an impact early."

Just one guy but it sounds like there's lots of these reports about a lot of other players on the team!
