Bryan Murphy brings old-school Pitt trench toughness
Bryan Murphy is a former Pitt defensive lineman whose calling card was steady, physical edge play: in the 2012 season, he played all 13 games, started 12, and finished with 27 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks[1][3]. He also battled through a left wrist injury that season and had earlier dealt with injuries and academic setbacks, which makes his 2012 rebound a good sign of resilience and buy-in[1][10][13]. If you want a hard-nosed, reliable DL who has shown he can play through adversity, Murphy fits the mold[1][10].
