Homerun prospects for Packers: Myles Murphy, Edge, Clemson

Speaking of freak athletes, Myles Murphy checks all the boxes in that category. At 6-5 and 275 pounds, he moves like someone a lot smaller. This athleticism is a huge tool as he’ll easily go around someone or through them.

The biggest question mark that could hold him back is his development. It appears he already peaked, as he barely (if at all) improved throughout his three years at Clemson. That’s scary for an NFL team who will be looking for him to address some of his weaknesses.
