Draft Rewind 2014 – Trent Murphy – Washington Redskins

What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about TRENT MURPHY: Stanford, 6053 250 4.85. Three-year starter. Team captain who is a blue collar worker. A good combination of intelligence and intensity. A hybrid standup linebacker/defensive end who is disruptive and explosive in his play. Led the country in sacks. Disciplined within the defensive scheme. He does it all – rushes the passer, drops into coverage, plays receivers man-to-man in the slot, can power rush on stunts up the middle, and play the run off tackle. Quick off the ball. Uses his hands well. Can get an offensive tackle back on his heels. Very good hand and grab strength to knock the tackle off balance. Can dip and lean around the corner. Contains the edge well. Hits with an explosive force. A good effort player who is alert for traps and draws. Finds the ball quickly. Teams usually run away from him. Needs to continue to work on his pass drops. 2013 stats: 62 T, 23.5 TFL, 15 sacks, 2 FF. Edge speed:left 1.71, right 2.07. OSR:16/49. First/second round. (A-33 7/8, H-11 1/8, BP-19, 10-1.65).
