In many ways, Myles Murphy is the prototypical Cincinnati Bengals defensive end. He was a five-star recruit who played for a championship-level team at Clemson. He’s 6-foot-5, 268 pounds, and has long arms. This helps him hold the edge in the run game.
Murphy ran a 1.59 10-yard split at his Pro Day, this will be evident in the film clips below. He is also a disciplined pass rusher who keeps contain but never put up crazy sack numbers (6.5 and 7 sacks, respectively in the last two seasons). The other thing that stands out on film is his relentless effort pursuing the football.
