Scouting Report: Strengths
- A smooth athlete with terrific mobility and footwork, staying light on his feet. Has the lateral range, natural shuffle movements, and lower body quickness to mirror speed rushers.
- Quick feet to get inside of defensive tackles to wall off inside and reach linebackers at the second level.
- Is effective when asked to pull, showing the agility, speed, and overall range to get out as a lead blocker, where Murray locates defenders and shows the ability to adjust and land blocks against linebackers.
- Understands angles and plays with good leverage. Murray has long arms and heavy hands, using them effectively in pass protection, and he has a strong enough initial punch to get an edge on quick sets.
- Has the functional strength to hold up against the bull rush, and he shows exceptionally quick and precise hands.
- Murray will have a chance to develop as a right tackle or possibly inside at guard, where he could be an interesting prospect for a zone-blocking team. If nothing else, that versatility is enough to make him at least a quality reserve.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Flashes the ability to move his man with his hands, but is not yet consistent in this area.
- Had issues against quality counter moves, struggling to readjust. That’s something he’ll see frequently against NFL technicians in the pass rush.
- Could be a liability against speed-to-power pass rushers early in his career.
