Myles Murphy

Myles Murphy should be able to provide a spark to his next team's pass rush. The 6-foot-5, 271-pound pass rusher didn't test at the NFL Combine - opting to wait for the private workout in April - but he possesses above-average athleticism. During his workout, Murphy ran a 4.51 40-yard dash (96th percentile), 7.20 3-cone (49th percentile) and 4.35 short shuttle (66th percentile).

He also possesses a relentless motor as indicated by his 5% broken and missed tackle rate - a mark that ranks No. 1 in the 2023 EDGE class.

The Cincinnati Bengals have selected EDGE Myles Murphy with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Murphy will join a Bengals’ defensive line anchored by Trey Hendrickson and DJ Reader. Murphy will benefit from being able to learn from Hendrickson as he looks to expand his pass rush angles and rush moves. Thor Nystrom has Murphy as No. 18 overall and ED4 with an NFL comparison of Rashan Gary in his Top 500 big board.
