NFL.com's Bucky Brooks spoke with one NFC South scout who believes the redshirt senior will play with his hand in the dirt in the NFL.
Brooks notes some have concerns about Murphy's ability to play in space, but due to versatile defensive fronts, the Stanford Cardinal will likely only be asked to rush the passer. "He is active and aggressive on the corner, with a relentless motor that allows him to gobble up sacks on extra effort," Brooks adds. Nov 12 - 2:25 PM

Trent Murphy - DL - Cardinal

NFL.com's Gil Brandt believes Stanford senior OLB Trent Murphy "can be an edge rusher in the NFL."

Brandt called the 6-foot-6, 260 pounder (4.75 40) "a very good player." Murphy has accumulated 9.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss on the season. Brandt believes Murphy could be hurt at the NFL Combine because Stanford's weight program emphasizes preventing injuries, not necessarily on increasing strength and speed. Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay considers Murphy a second-round prospect.

Trent Murphy - DL - Cardinal

After ranking Stanford senior Trent Murphy as a mid-round selection prior to the season, Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay now considers the DE/OLB a second-round pick.

"Murphy isn't an elite athlete but he has a quick first step, violent hands and does a very good job of transferring speed to power," McShay writes. "His stock is rising." Murphy and other Cardinal defenders will have to step it up with Ben Gardner done for the season.

Trent Murphy - DL - Cardinal

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler ranked Stanford senior DE/OLB Trent Murphy No. 26 on his initial rankings for the 2014 NFL Draft.

"Murphy is a productive, aggressive and versatile stand-up pass rusher who led the team in tackles for loss (18) and sacks (10) last year," Brugler writes. Murphy is longer than former teammate Chase Thomas, but has the same "plus" technique and ability to shed at the point of attack.

Trent Murphy - DL - Cardinal

Stanford senior OLB/DE Trent Murphy intercepted a pass for a 40 yard touchdown to go along with seven tackles, including one for loss, in Thursday's game against Washington.

Murphy is an interesting prospect playing opposite Chase Thomas, who is one of the more technically sound players at his position. The interception came after Murphy started in a three-point stance from his end spot, tipping a bubble screen attempt up in the air, and taking it 40 yards with adequate straight line speed. We still don't know what kind of athlete Murphy is, specifically in what ways he could win on the edge, but we are intrigued.
