Myles Murphey is essentially the 2023 version of Travon Walker as he’s a massive athletic freak but without the intangible skills. Murphey will actually be entering the league with more a refined pass-rush skillset than Walker had, but the physical traits aren’t quite as desirable. Whoever drafts him will have to accept he may not pan out as he has his flaws and is still quite raw. If he reaches his full potential, this is a guy who could be in the running for Defensive Player of The Year awards. He is extraordinarily explosive and fast for his size and will be a quality day-one-run defender. While he has a long way to go, it’ll be hard to pass up this kind of upside at such an important position in the top ten. Essentially all of the physical traits you could ask for in an EDGE prospect are there. It’ll be very interesting to see where he lands and how he develops with pro coaching. Everything he needs to improve upon is broken down here. Five games in total were evaluated. This scouting report includes grades on all relevant traits which were based on his film. Stats and analytics such as PFF grades were also factored into his scouting report. Thank you to both TFG and PFF for inspiring this draft content. Please leave your feedback on Twitter @FBIntellect.

In the clip above, Murphey shows explosiveness and an impressive bend. He uses a slight swipe move with his hands, but this was won with mostly speed and strength.
Here he wins with a speed rush again and demonstrates great flexibility in his hips. He did a good job of taking advantage of the poor pass-pro technique from the LT.
In this one, Murphey pulls off an impressive rip move. It takes high-end get-off, bend, and body control to be able to do this. Notice how he grabs the LTs left shoulder and pulls it down as he propelled forward.
In this one, Murphey flashes a dominant play in run defense. He explodes off the snap and sheds the blocker with ease.
