After a respectable rookie season, Trent Murphy was the favorite to replace Brian Orakpo. A pair of new faces complicates his future a bit.
Position: Outside linebacker
Height: 6'5" Weight: 258 lbs
College: Stanford
Drafted: Second round, 47th overall (2014)
When the Washington Redskins drafted Trent Murphy in the second round in 2014, some saw him as Brian Orakpo's eventual replacement. When Rak went down with his third pectoral injury in four seasons midway through the ensuing season, that became reality for the rookie out of Stanford, and he played decently until he also ended the season on IR.
