Byron Murphy, one of the most dynamic cornerbacks in Husky history, became the second University of Washington player selected in the 2019 NFL draft on Friday when the Cardinals chose him with the first pick in the second round (No. 33 overall).
Murphy, from Scottsdale, Ariz., was an Associated Press second-team All-American in 2018 and a first-team all-Pac-12 selection. He was the MVP of the Pac-12 championship game after he returned an interception 66 yards for the only touchdown of the game, helping the Huskies to a 10-3 victory over Utah.
After a redshirt season in 2016, Murphy had two interceptions in his UW debut at Rutgers to open the 2017 season.
