Professional career

Pre-draft

On December 18, 2013, it was announced that Murphy accepted his invitation to play in the 2014 Senior Bowl. [51] During the practices leading up to the game, he was tested at both the defensive end and outside linebacker positions. [52] Murphy was regarded as one of the top defenders in college football, but was seen as a disappointment by a media member during Senior Bowl practices. [53] On January 25, 2014, Murphy played in the Reese's Senior Bowl and made four combined tackles as a part of Atlanta Falcons head coach Mike Smith's North team that lost 20–10 to the South. He was one of 35 collegiate linebackers to attend the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Murphy performed all of the combine drills, finishing second in the three-cone drill and 14th in the broad jump. [54] On March 20, 2014, Murphy attended Stanford's pro day and opted to run his 40-yard dash (4.82s), 20-yard dash (2.80s), and 10-yard dash (1.67s) again. He also performed positional drills and met with team representatives and scouts from 29 NFL teams. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Murphy was projected to be a second or third round pick by NFL analysts and scouts. He was ranked the eighth best defensive end prospect in the draft by NFLDraftScout.com. [55]

Washington Redskins

2014

The Washington Redskins selected Murphy in the second round (47th overall) of the 2014 NFL draft. [58] Murphy was seen as a long-term solution for the possible departure of Brian Orakpo, who was franchise tagged and was designated to be a free agent after 2014. [59] On May 23, 2014, the Redskins signed Murphy to a four-year, $4.47 million contract that includes $2.61 million guaranteed and a signing bonus of $1.57 million. [60] [61]

He entered training camp slated as the backup outside linebacker to veterans Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo. Head coach Jay Gruden officially named him the backup right outside linebacker to Orakpo to start the regular season. [62]

He made his professional regular season debut in the Redskins' season-opening 17–6 loss at the Houston Texans. On September 21, 2014, Murphy recorded his first career tackle in a 37–34 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles. He made his tackle on running back LeSean McCoy and dropped him for a two-yard loss in the second quarter. [63] On October 27, 2014, he earned his first career start in place of Brian Orakpo who was placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn pectoral. [64] He finished the 19–17 victory over the Tennessee Titans with a solo tackle and one pass deflection. [65] In Week 9, Murphy recorded four combined tackles and made his first career sack on quarterback Teddy Bridgewater as the Redskins lost 29–26 versus the Minnesota Vikings. [66] On December 14, 2014, Murphy collected a season-high six combined tackles during a 24–13 loss at the New York Giants. The following week, he made his eighth consecutive start, but left the 27–24 win over the Eagles after suffering a hand injury. On December 23, 2014, the Washington Redskins placed Murphy on injured reserve after it was discovered he had fractured a bone in his right hand. [67] He finished his rookie season with 32 combined tackles (28 solo), 2.5 sacks, and a pass deflection in eight starts and 15 games. [68]

2015

Murphy entered training camp in 2015 as the Redskins' starting strongside linebacker following the departure of Brian Orakpo to the Tennessee Titans in free agency. [69]

He started the season-opener against the Miami Dolphins and recorded three solo tackles in the 17–10 loss. On November 15, 2015, Murphy recorded a season-high five combined tackles and was credited with a half a sack on Drew Brees during a 47–14 victory over the New Orleans Saints. During a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears, he made one solo tackle and had the first forced fumble of his career in their 24–21 victory. His forced fumble came on a sack on Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler. [70] Murphy finished the 2015 season with 33 combined tackles (13 solo), 3.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in 14 starts and 16 games. [71]

The Washington Redskins finished first atop the NFC East with a 9–7 record and received a playoff berth. On January 10, 2016, Murphy started in his first career playoff game and made one solo tackle in their 35–18 loss in the NFC Wildcard game to the Green Bay Packers.

2016

Prior to training camp, it was announced that Murphy would move from strongside linebacker to defensive end. Murphy gained over 30 lbs in order to be better suited to play the role. [72] [73] On August 8, 2016, it was reported that the move to defensive end was cancelled after Junior Galette, who was taking over the starting strongside linebacker role, suffered an achilles injury. [74] Head coach Jay Gruden named Murphy the backup strongside linebacker behind Preston Smith to start the regular season. [75]

On September 18, 2016, Murphy returned to defensive end after the line had multiple injuries and had underwhelming performances. [76] He had six combined tackles and made two sacks on Dak Prescott in their 27–23 loss. This marked his first multi-sack game of his career. [77] On October 2, 2016, he made a season-high five solo tackles and sacked Cody Kessler during the Redskins' 31–20 win over the Cleveland Browns. In Week 7, Murphy recorded two solo tackles and sacked Matthew Stafford in a 20–17 loss at the Detroit Lions. This was his sixth consecutive game with a sack. He finished the 2016 season with 47 combined tackles (29 solo), a career-high nine sacks, and a pass deflection in 16 games and zero starts. [78]

2017

On April 14, 2017, Murphy was suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances policy. [79] On August 10, 2017, Murphy suffered a leg injury in the Redskins' 23–3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in their preseason-opener. [80] On August 11, 2017, Murphy underwent an MRI and it was discovered he had suffered a torn ACL. He was placed in injured reserve and missed the entire 2017 season. [81]

In his second season with the Bills, Murphy recorded 5.0 sacks and 36 tackles, also forcing two fumbles. Murphy recorded his first career interception during Week 2 of the 2019 season, catching a tipped Eli Manning pass during a 28–14 Bills win over the Giants. [85]

Murphy was expected to be a cap casualty in 2020, but made the team. [86] Murphy played in 10 games, losing out on time to the slow-rising emergence of rookie A. J. Epenesa. He registered a career-low two sacks, along with 19 tackles, three for loss, and six quarterback hits. His contract was not renewed after the 2020 season and he became a free agent in 2021. [87]
