The COVID-19 outbreak has had an inevitably negative effect on the NFL pre-draft process for 2020, but it hasn’t stopped players and teams from meeting electronically.
Like the rest of the 31 teams in the league, the Tennessee Titans have been holding FaceTime meetings with prospects, and one of the latest is North Carolina State defensive lineman, Larrell Murchison.
Murchison has also met with the New England Patriots, New York Giants, and New York Jets, among others, according to Justin Melo of Draft Wire.

The 6-foot-3, 291-pound lineman played two seasons for the Wolfpack and finished out 2019 with 48 total tackles (24 solo), seven sacks, two passes defensed and a pair of fumble recoveries.
Murchison recorded 82 tackles (40 solo), 11 sacks, four passes defensed, two fumble recoveries and one interception during his college career.
He could function for a team like the Titans in a depth role, and is versatile enough to play in several places and be moved around, though he’s most solid as a pure run defender.
The Titans have met with multiple defensive lineman this offseason, and it will be interesting to see if the team adds Murchison to its roster later this month.
