HardHeaded: A Flashback to 2005 and what Could've Been with Terrence Murphy

On Draft Day, 2005, there was one other headline aside from the obvious one that revolved around quarterback Aaron Rodgers' unforeseen plunge in the first round.

At 58th overall, the Packers aimed to target a game-changing wide receiver to help bolster their already-third-ranked offense in 2004. In newly-appointed general manager Ted Thompson's mind, there was no better receiver on the board in the second round than Texas A&M's Terrence Murphy. Even 12 years later, Murphy is renowned as one of the best receivers to have played for the school and at one point, was the first receiver to surpass 2,000 receiving yards in its history.
