Louis Murphy, WR, Florida, 6′3″, 205 lbs., 4.4 forty

Pre-NFL Draft Fantasy Profile: Even though Murphy didn’t post huge digits in 2008 (38 catches for 655 yards and seven TDs), he was still a key part of Florida’s run-heavy national championship team, and he absolutely has the size and skills to be an effective pro receiver. He has very good top end speed, and can shed defenders very well. He won’t be able to run after the catch extremely well at the pro level, but at least he can get open. Murphy should also have success in the red zone at the NFL level. He’s absolutely someone to watch closely, especially if he fills in on a pass heavy team like Indianapolis or Philadelphia. Right now he projects as a solid third round rookie draft sleeper.

Murphy showed surprising speed at the 2009 NFL Scouting Combine, clocking an impressive 4.43 forty.
