Summary

Jalen McMurray is an experienced and gritty defensive back who reinvented himself as a slot defender during his final season at Tennessee. While he is a high-effort tackler who isn't afraid to mix it up near the line of scrimmage, his lack of impact plays and inconsistent results against elite competition suggest a developmental ceiling. His primary value at the next level will likely come as a high-motor special teams contributor and depth nickel.
