The Seattle Seahawks selected Texas defensive tackle Byron Murphy II with the 16th overall pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night.
Murphy was just the second defensive player selected in the draft as the first 14 picks were exclusively on the offensive side of the ball. Murphy was a second-team All-American selection this year for the Longhorns and was named the Big 12 defensive lineman of the year. Murphy had 29 tackles with 8.5 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks this year at Texas.Per Dane Brugler of The Athletic, Murphy led Texas with a team-best 45 quarterback pressures and ranked No.
He's a touch undersized at just over 6 feet and 297 pounds, but is equally adept in the running game.Murphy played multiple spots along the defensive line with the Longhorns and also scored two touchdowns on offense in spot use. He had a 1-yard rushing touchdown and a 1-yard receiving touchdown last season.Murphy helps add to a Seattle defensive line that has really struggled heavily against the run in the last several seasons.
