Duke football fans got their first taste of the Manny Diaz era, and of new quarterback Maalik Murphy, in a short social media video shared on Saturday morning.
The Blue Devils cut together some highlights from the first day of spring practice, complete with agility drills, scrimmages, and some eye-popping throws from the new signal-caller.
The short clips showed the former Texas quarterback, who committed to the Blue Devils back in December, connecting with new teammates all over the field. At one point in the video, Murphy (wearing the number 57) even fired a no-look pass across his body.
He wasn’t the only passer to star in the short video, however, as one highlight showed Henry Belin IV launching a moonball for a deep completion.
