Louis Murphy | Florida Scouting Report - 2009 NFL Draft Prospect

Strengths:
Very good size and bulk with long arms...Terrific athlete...Excellent speed...Explosive with a burst...A vertical threat who gets a lot of separation...Quick off the line...Good hands and can make the difficult catch...Great ball skills...Nice leaping ability...Tough and isn't afraid to work in traffic...Some special teams potential...Still has a lot of upside.

Weaknesses:
Wasn't overly productive...Has plenty of room to improve as a route runner...Isn't real elusive and doesn't do much after the catch...Does not change directions well...Football IQ has been questioned...Average blocker...Never a featured target in college...Is coming out of a spread offense system...Maturity / Work Ethic were issues early in his career.

Notes:
Was also a member of the Gators track and field team...A two-year starter...Father is a pastor...Mother passed away in February of 2007 following a battle with cancer...Was arrested on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge in 2006...Played second fiddle to Andre Caldwell and Percy Harvin throughout his college career...Caught at least one pass in every game the past two seasons...Was a frequent resident of Urban Meyer's doghouse as a freshman and sophomore but really turned things around the past couple of years...The type who might be a better athlete than football player...Has all the physical tools you look for and is basically just beginning to fulfill his immense potential...A bit of a project and will need to be developed but when it comes to measuables this guy is just about as impressive as they come.
