Just like SS, MM's scouting report was "The traits and upside are there, but his skill level needs a boost to push the ceiling higher...Doesn't come up with a rush plan to beat tackles."
Murphy actually had better production and tape than SS, and he's now going into Year 3 before potentially making any real impact.
If Bengals don't get some immediate quality performance from SS this year, there will be concerns...unless Ossai/Murphy really steps up to compensate and make people be fine with relegating the shiny 1st round DE to a limited snap player this year.
I don't remember players like Micah Parsons and Luke Kuechly talking up Murphy and saying he had the highest ceiling of anyone in the entire
Draft but yeah, they were similar. I still think Murphy can be great too, just gained too much weight last season and it really slowed him down.
