Bengals' Myles Murphy: Quiet rookie season
Myles Murphy tallied 20 tackles (10 solo) and three sacks across 17 regular-season games with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023.Murphy, a 2023 first-round pick, never stepped into a starting role as a rookie and didn't handle more than 50 percent of defensive snaps in a single game until Week 16. The former Clemson standout is young, having just turned 22, and he boasts 6-foot-5, 268-pound size plus rare athleticism, so there's still reason to be optimistic about his prospects after another offseason of development. Still, there's also no guarantee he'll be ready to start as a sophomore, making the defensive line a position of need for Cincinnati this offseason.
