Ultimately, Murphy put forth a tremendous effort, and many people took notice.

Matt Miller @nfldraftscout

Byron Murphy II is ranked No. 13 on my board and I'm worried that's too low.

Cedric Golden @CedGolden

Texas product Byron Murphy II was already a first round pick before he clocked a 4.88 in the 40. Cha-ching. He just secured a very large bag. <a href="">

Jordan Reid @Jordan_Reid

Byron Murphy II moves different and has been phenomenal in positional drills so far. Explosive with no wasted movement.

Goodberry @JoeGoodberry

Those bags offended Byron Murphy earlier <a href="">

Matt Miller @nfldraftscout

Byron Murphy looked like a fullback running his 40. Powerful and smooth.

Andre Johnson for NFL HOF Advocate @FondofHOUsports

I ran just a few splits seconds faster than Byron Murphy at my athletic peak…I was also 125 pounds lighter at that time. It's tough to fathom how a dude can move like that at that size, <a href="">

CJ Vogel @CJVogel_OTF

A 33-inch vertical jump for DL Byron Murphy is tremendous.

Pro Football Network @PFN365

Byron Murphy II woke up and chose violence today. 😤<a href="">#HookEm</a> | <a href="">#NFLCombine</a> <a href=""> <a href="">
