In fact Taylor who is 3 inches taller and 14lbs heavier had better test results in the 40, vertical ,broad jump and not far behind in the 3 shuttle. And, if Sutherland's pro day 40 was hand timed the difference in the 40 is even greater. One has to wonder if this is a case of underestimating U Sport athletes.
At WR, Murphy could be a sleeper. He tested faster than I expected. He has baseball gloves for hands and seldom losses a fight for a contested ball. He has good size and whoever drafts him could well have an excellent receiver after a year or so maturing in the league.
