Myles Murphy already drawing interest from one NFL team at East-West Shrine Bowl
North Carolina defensive lineman Myles Murphy is one of a handful of Tar Heels hoping to hear their name called early on during the 2024 NFL draft in April.
Murphy committed to North Carolina as a four-star recruit in 2019 and played a few years on the Tar Heels defensive line. Now, as he gets set for the draft in April, he has a shot to impress some NFL scouts early on.
The defensive lineman is down in Texas for the East-West Shrine game this week and he’s already drawing the interest of NFL teams. Murphy has reportedly met with the Green Bay Packers already:

Over the past three seasons, Murphy recorded 15 tackles for loss, six sacks, and 35 pressures.

Murphy is an intriguing defensive line prospect but saw his draft stock tumble a little bit due to a lack of production. That’s not his fault, as his role was a little different under Gene Chizik the past couple of seasons.
It looks like Murphy was a standout at practice already:
Great first day of practice at the @ShrineBowl at The Star – @dallascowboys phenomenal facility.

Hopefully, this event will help Murphy get his stock up a little more and he can use this to continue to build momentum toward the draft.
