Patriots’ Bill Murray ‘grateful’ for opportunity in switching positions

FOXBOROUGH — The first surprise of Patriots training camp came before practice even started on Wednesday.

Third-year pro Bill Murray walked onto the practice field donning a white No. 62 jersey instead of a blue one, meaning that he was playing on offense instead of defense. Murray has exclusively played defensive tackle since college and over the last two seasons, in which he’s been on the Patriots’ practice squad.

Murray, who played offensive tackle and guard in high school, shared Saturday how the change came.

“I’m just here to help the team out in any way possible,” Murray said.
