Draft Profile: Oklahoma LB Kenneth Murray

21 January 2020 DRAFT

Kenneth Murray 2020 NFL Draft Profile

Measureables: 6’2″ 234 LBs

As of late, Oklahoma is not known for their defense but the country knows about Kenneth Murray. The linebacker was regularly highlighted on our TV screens; more importantly, he was highlighted on opposing teams film room screens every week. Murray is a true 3 down linebacker who can also put a hand in the ground and get to the QB. He can go sideline to sideline and straight down hill and make offensive coaches irate. He’s just a pure play maker who has a nose for the ball. Howie has shown in the past that LB is not a priority; however, you’d have to hope that they’d look Murray’s way if he slides or if he’s just sitting there at 21.
