He had that preseason MCL injury last year, and started the year on IR. Took him half the season to get healthy.
I would add him on the list of breakouts this year. With Hubbard gone, I feel Murphy will get some true edge snaps and deliver on the promise.
Both Jenkins and Murphy have Hill and Ossai in front of them, but I think they both will shine this year.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Murphy starting by mid-year.
True, I am forgetting about him till he shows me something. I saw some good things from Murphy as a rookie late in his first season but last
year he was slow, bad at stopping the run and pretty much invisible out there. Ossai on the other hand was our second best pass rusher by far
last season and should of started over hobbled Sam. Another reason why I am glad we moved on from most of our Defensive coaches.
