If there’s one Tennessee Titans undrafted free agent signing who has caught the attention of fans and media, it’s Ferris State edge rusher, Caleb Murphy.
That attention comes from the fact that Murphy tallied an NCAA record 25.5 sacks in his final season with the Bulldogs. As a junior, he finished with 15, giving him an impressive 40.5 sacks over his final two collegiate seasons.
The knock on those numbers, of course, is that Murphy tallied them at a D2 school. However, at least he dominated that level of competition, am I right?
Nevertheless, the 6-foot-3, 254-pound EDGE enters a fairly favorable situation with the Titans, a team that needs to lock down a fourth outside linebacker outside of Harold Landry, Arden Key and Rashad Weaver.
In my way-too-early 53-man roster projection, I have Murphy grabbing that final spot at outside linebacker, but there’s a long way to go with OTAs, mandatory minicamp and training camp still to come.
In order to get more information on the Ferris State product, we’ve rounded up some scouting reports to get a feel for how experts viewed him prior to the draft. A few of them even had Murphy being drafted.
