Praising the Seahawks first-round pick after completing their fifth OTA practice on Thursday, Jarran Reed looks to be sold on Byron Murphy II.
Members of the Seattle Seahawks front office and its veterans haven’t hesitated to rave about rookie defensive tacklesince he was drafted No. 16 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Count one of his defensive line counterparts as the latest to sing the rookie's praises.
“I love him. quiet, he works hard. It’s the type of characteristics you look for in a rookie. He’s going to be real good. I’m going to stay on him and help him out as much as I can because we are going to need him in the long run. I think he’s going to be ready to answer the call.”Murphy was the second-highest graded interior defensive lineman in the FBS Division last season at 91.
Right out of the gate, Murphy will be a key part of Seattle’s remade defensive line rotation and will likely have a large role beginning in Week 1, especially if Reed’s comments ring true over the remainder of the offseason and into training camp.
