Myles Murphy impressed at his Pro Day on Tuesday, showing off his athleticism to a large contingent of NFL scouts. After missing the NFL Combine and Clemson's Pro Day due to a lingering hamstring injury, Murphy put up some strong numbers, including a reported 4.51 in the 40-yard dash.

As for the upcoming NFL Draft, Murphy has been in limbo. Teams think they know what he brings to the table, but don't know how he stacks up next to the other edge rushers in the class. Alabama's Will Anderson and Texas Tech's Tyree Wilson are the two surefire top picks. After that, Iowa's Luke Van Ness, Georgia's Nolan Smith, Iowa State's Will McDonald IV, and Myles Murphy all have compelling arguments to be the next pass rusher off the board.

It looks like teams like what they've been hearing from Murphy, however, as ESPN's Todd McShay has him going 15th overall to Green Bay in his latest Mock Draft. Murphy is the only Clemson Tiger in the first round, with McShay slotting both Bryan Bresee and Trenton Simpson in the second round.
