Kaden Murphy – RB/S/WR

Scouting Report

This kid is one of those receivers that if you don’t pay attention he will burn you big time. Nick has savvy and instincts for the position and most importantly spectacular hands in every situation. He possesses deceptively good speed and can lull DB’s to sleep on deeper routes as he knows how to change gears with spurts of burst and create separation, but ultimately he is fast. He has great feet. Nick makes plays. He displays tremendous body control and adjusts extremely well to balls thrown outside of his frame. He is also a very good leaper that has a knack for timing jumps and knowing when to go up and attack the ball in traffic. He has great sideline awareness on outside routes and knows how to attack coverage and settle into soft spots in zone coverage. He has some innate qualities when it comes to getting open and a great feel for what is going on around him. His ability to focus and pluck passes is terrific. He always extends away from his frame and snags the ball with ease and comfort. He can catch the ball over his head as well as any WR we have seen in recent years. Nick is a guy that is the perfect complement in a three-wide set. At the next level he would be at his best as a wideout / slot he can play both coaches. His ability to decipher zone coverage from an underneath and intermediate standpoint would make him a huge factor out of the slot. Overall, Nick possesses many intangibles that can’t be coached. Good prospect that could surprise at the next level.
