Marcus Murphy makes the 9th former Mizzou players drafted by the New Orleans Saints, first since Brad Edelman in 1982.
Marcus Murphy is just the second Missouri running back drafted since 1998.

Pretty crazy, right?
Marcus Murphy broke Jeremy Maclin's school record for career return touchdowns and only the 3rd player in Mizzou history with more than 4,000 career all purpose yards (Jeremy Maclin and Brad Smith).
He's often compared to former New Orleans Saint Darren Sproles in terms of size and return ability and you expect they'll try him out at that position and possibly try him as a receiving target out of the backfield.
