Opportunity arrives for Bengals first-round pick Myles Murphy
Cincinnati Bengals rookie defensive end Myles Murphy is a 6-foot-6, 275-pound first round pick who can run a 40-yard dash in 4.47 seconds. For his whole life, he has been bigger, stronger and faster than his competition.
In college at Clemson, Murphy was a freshman All-American. After the Bengals drafted him this year, Murphy expected a similar transition where he’d hit the ground running and wreak havoc in the backfield.
Instead, he was one of the quietest players on the field during training camp and the preseason. The 21-year-old has faced a learning curve in the NFL.
