Jerome Murphy

CB

South Florida

DraftNasty.com Description

It’s not too many times you mention a cornerback being one of the hardest hitting guys on the team. The South Florida Golden Bulls definitely have one in Jerome Murphy. Aside from his big hits, DraftNasty is raving about his on field production. Last season, the New Jersey native registered 67 tackles, 7 pass breakups, 3.5 tackles for loss and 2 interceptions. The only player more productive than him at the CB position was Vanderbilt’s Myron Lewis. He is a valuable special teams player and even provides depth as a return man. If Murphy can continue to have a solid senior campaign, expect for him to push into the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
