He’s been a quarterback. A receiver. A gunner. A jammer. Maybe he fights crime at night? Tyler Murphy has done it all in training camp. And it’s why he deserves a spot, somewhere, on this team.
The official site can list him wherever they want. It doesn’t matter. Murphy will wind up playing all over the place.Pegged as a receiver coming out of Boston College, it seemed like a tall task when he was asked to stay at quarterback.

But he received reps under center in the spring and was picked by the coaching staff to remain there over Devin Gardner, who made the full-time switch to wide receiver.
