Following the 2024 NFL Draft, the Vikings agreed to terms and signed Gabriel Murphy, edge rusher, UCLA. Murphy was the 111th ranked player on the consensus board and the 11th ranked edge rusher. The Vikings provided a $245K salary guarantee to land Murphy, which is a lot for a UDFA, as part of a 3-year, $2.85 million contract.
Top Line Assessment
Gabriel Murphy is another one of the highly productive, highly graded late-round or UDFA college prospects the Vikings have signed over the past two years, but with some potential physical limitations relative to the prototype that caused him to fall in the draft or in Murphy’s case go undrafted.
