Kenneth Murray will not be a participant at Oklahoma’s Pro Day tomorrow.
The projected first-round linebacker tweaked his hamstring while running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine just two weeks ago.
Before pulling his hamstring, Murray posted solid numbers to keep him in the first round range and maybe become the first linebacker taken overall. Murray ran a 4.52 40-yard dash on his first go for sixth-best out of the linebacking group before pulling up on his second attempt. He was also sixth-best in the vertical jump at 38 inches and was third-best among linebackers with a 10-foot-9-inch broad jump.
Although unable to participate in on-field drills following the hamstring injury, Murray impressed most off the field. One anonymous NFL general manager said that Murray’s interview was the “single greatest combine interview I ever had.” High praise for the former Sooner has moved Murray up draft boards around the league. Projected as a first-rounder, Murray has slid up from the back end of the first to the middle of the pack in the first round due to his athleticism and wits.
At Oklahoma in his junior season, the star linebacker recorded 102 tackles of his 325 career tackles. Finishing his Sooners career with 36.5 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, six pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.
Scheduled participants for Oklahoma’s Pro Day are WR Nick Basquine, DL Dillon Faamatau, DL Neville Gallimore, S Kahlil Haughton, QB Jalen Hurts, WR CeeDee Lamb, DL Kenneth Mann, WR A.D. Miller, WR Lee Morris, CB Parnell Motley, DL Marquise Overton, OL R.J. Proctor, and RB Marcelias Sutton.
