With the National Scouting Combine just weeks away, the hype is ramping up for this year’s NFL Draft. Luke Easterling of Draft Wire has been busy putting together his lists of the best NFL hopefuls at each position. He has former University of Washington Husky Byron Murphy as the nation’s top cornerback.
Draft Wire’s Gavino Borquez has this to say about Murphy in his NFL Draft profile:
Murphy is an aggressive, versatile, and experienced defensive back. He is a highly instinctive and aware defender. He shows natural cover skills, understanding of coverages, game situations, and technique. He has experience in both zone and man.
Murphy displays discipline and rapid reaction skills. He stays in very good position to make late play on the ball or secure a quick tackle after the catch. Murphy shows fluid hips and quick feet to mirror and transition out of coverage.
Murphy is the total package in terms of a cornerback prospect. He can fit all 32 teams and every scheme. He has the upside to be one of the best players at his position two years from now.
