His performance during running back drills was impressive, showcasing impeccable footwork and agility that set him apart. What truly stood out, was his versatility on display during the one-on-one sessions with linebackers. Running precise routes, he effortlessly demonstrated his ability to run clean routes and ability to catch.

Murray's athletic prowess wasn't confined to the testing; he demonstrated exceptional agility during routes on air and excelled in one-on-ones. His speed allows him to create significant separation from defensive backs, making him a difficult to cover in man coverage.
