CINCINNATI — The Bengals selected Clemson defensive end Myles Murphy with the 28th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday night.

Murphy had 45 tackles (11 for loss) and 6.5 sacks last season. He’ll give the Bengals another competent pass rusher to deploy alongside Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard.

“Murphy lacks efficient move-to-move transitions as a pass rusher, but he is naturally gifted with the explosive traits, play speed and length to be a disruptive leverage-power rusher in the NFL,” The Athletic’s Dane Brugler wrote in his evaluation. “He projects as a base end in a four-man front with the floor of an NFL starter.”
