Percy Harvin is grabbing a lot of headlines as the draft approaches. His speed and playmaking ability have many comparing him to DeSean Jackson. There are also rumors regarding possible failed drug tests and some team execs are on record as saying they would steer clear of Harvin completely.
Then there is the other Gator wideout: Louis Murphy. At 6’2″, 205 and a 4.4 40-time, Murphy has the size and speed GMs and coaches drool over. According to Thomas George over at NFL.com, the Eagles are one of those teams salivating. They reportedly invited Murphy in for a private workout.
Scouts and draft experts call Murphy a gifted but raw athlete capable of making plays down field. He can get separation and isn’t afraid to operate over the middle. The fact that he played in a spread attack in college has other talent evaluators shying away from him. Let’s be real, Gator receivers haven’t exactly been tearing it up in the NFL. Guys like Dallas Baker, Chad Jackson, Jabar Gaffney and Travis Taylor have all been disappointments.
I’ve never been a fan of Florida receivers, but Murphy’s size, speed and willingness to catch in traffic makes him intriguing.
