2013 Preseason Press[edit]

  • Jeremiah, NFL.com: “Murphy uses a multitude of physical moves to consistently annihilate tight ends in both the run and pass game. A few of his favorites: grab/pull, chop or pure bull rush.” [63]
  • Ted Miller, ESPN.com: “Stanford: Three starters back for the Pac-12’s best run defense, including All-American candidates Trent Murphy and Shayne Skov. Even the competition to replace Chase Thomas, between James Vaughters and Blake Lueders is between two A-list veterans. Depth is good, too. Might be the best unit in the country.” [64]
  • Rob Rang CBS Sports. Stanford’s Trent Murphy is one of the nation’s elite pass-rushers.” [65][66]
  • Jesse Palmer, ESPN: Top 5 breakout players for the 2013 season, “What about Trent Murphy?”,... “the biggest dog on defense.” [67][68]
  • Jack Follman, SB Nation: 2013 Pac-12 Preseason positional rankings: Linebackers. “Murphy would be the unquestioned best linebacker in the conference most years and even with as good as Barr is, an argument could be made that Murphy might be even better. Murphy is a bit of a hybrid as he is 6’6 261 and he utilizes his size to get to the quarterback as good as anyone in the conference as he led the Cardinal with 10 sacks and 18 tackles for loss last season.” [69][70]
  • Gil Brandt, NFL.com Trent Murphy ranked 3rd top five college football senior outside linebackers in the country.[71][72]
