The full breakdown
Murphy's 61.6 grade was dragged down by a poor 54 run defense grade despite positive moments rushing the passer (66 facet). He was repeatedly attacked on the perimeter, getting turned inside by Darnell Washington on a 35-yard toss (Q2 10:16) and failing to fight off crack blocks (Q2 09:25). While he notched a high-end speed rush for a sack that was wiped out by a secondary penalty (Q2 01:57) and helped close pockets on two fourth-quarter sacks, his grade also suffered from losing contain on an Aaron Rodgers scramble (Q2 00:28).
Strengths
- Edge bend and closing burst as a rusher
- Collapsing the pocket on third-down dropbacks
