Nick Saban, others compare Byron Murphy to Aaron Donald
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY SportsThe standard for every slightly undersized, lean defensive tackle entering the NFL is former Los Angeles Rams standout Aaron Donald, one of the most dominant interior linemen of his generation and, arguably, in league history.
That’s exactly the comparison that former Texas Longhorns defensive tackle Byron Murphy earned from new NFL Draft analyst Nick Saban when the Seattle Seahawks selected Murphy with the No. 16 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday.
"One of the most disruptive players in the draft."
"He is Aaron Donald-like"
