CINCINNATI — Myles Murphy has plenty of opportunity awaiting him this season on the Bengals' defense. The second-year edge rusher flashed in moments as a rookie and now gets to put a first-year tackle to the test.
Murphy discussed his early battles against Amarius Mims with our own James Rapien.
"Me going against Amarius, someone just that size, that stature, that quickness. I think it's very beneficial as well," Murphy said. "Not a lot of people in the NFL are built like that. Now, there are a lot of people in the NFL that are very technical, very athletic, very strong, but I feel like going against him every day is great work, like honestly, just great work, physically and mentally, honestly, being able to develop a pass rush plan and growing."
Murphy notched three sacks and 15 pressures on 165 pass-rushing snaps in his rookie season. Those numbers should all take a jump over the next few months.
