Quote:"Cincinnati, We getting to the quarterback, we getting to the Super Bowl, we getting to the AFC championship," Murphy said. "Hey, Who Dey!"

Quote:"Coming from a winning organization and joining a winning organization that knows how to win, that knows the mentality that what it takes to win, that's important. It's great to join an organization like that," Murphy said. "They have all the pieces to be a consistent Super Bowl contender, AFC Championship contender. I just want to be that finishing piece, that piece that pushes them over and past that ledge of being a consistent Super Bowl contender to being a Super Bowl winner every year."

Quote:"Making the plays that people don't think I'm going to make," Murphy said. "Even when I'm all the way off the screen, just making those plays, running them down the field, sideline to sideline, going to get to the quarterback, going to stop the run, and be an all-around dominant player,"

The AFC North now has another pass-rusher named Myles. The Browns' Myles Garrett leads the NFL with 44 sacks this decade and it just so happens he is who Murphy emulates.

"Similar body types, similar playing style, rushing style. I just mimic all of my game after him," Murphy said.

Welcome to the Jungle!

Watching his tape, his athleticism and relentless pursuit/effort jump out immediately. Beyond his obvious talent and key foundational skill set, you have to like this kid's attitude and mindset. All reports indicate he has great character. He should fit the culture immediately and contribute on and off the field.

At only 21 years old, with the defensive coaches and the guys in the DL room, I don't think it will be long before we see him make an impact on the field. If he's able to broaden his pass rush moves, he could be a potential game wrecker that opposing teams have to plan for. This guy is the kind of 4-3 DE that just doesn't grow on trees and he happened to fall in our lap @28 after being ranked 17th overall.

Hopefully he reaches his full potential and wreaks havoc on the field in Stripes for years to come!
Myles Murphy vs. Broderick Jones....any tape?
Myles Murphy vs. Jawaan Taylor.... who wins?
I can't wait to see him chasing down LamaRB!
I'm way too excited about football for it to only be April.

Those who are upset with the pick are forgetting we have to face LamaRB and Watson twice a year, have to play Mahomes and Allen in the regular season again and very possibly in the playoffs. We needed to improve the pass rush and if you doubt it, rewatch the AFCCG. This will also help our secondary more than the average fan realizes. 

And Zach even admitted himself....when game planning for Burrow, the first thing they look at is the opposing team's pass rush depth. 

We have to be able to apply pressure against the elite QBs. Now we don't have to rely on situational pass rushers as MM is an every down DE. Trey and Sam won't be gassed before the game is over and a fresher Trey and Sam will be even more productive. Just ask Joe Burrow what a good pash rush can do to opposing QBs.
