"Admittedly, not many people are familiar with Murphy. He was an end-of-the-roster player with the Chargers, and has played just 11 games in his career thus far. The 25-year-old entered the league in 2023, signing with Vrabel's Tennessee Titans. He was later released, signed to the Chargers practice squad, and eventually made their 2025 roster. Murphy had his first career sack against the Giants in Week 4 of this year."
"A strong preseason led to Murphy making of the Chargers' roster. He had a pair of sacks against the Saints, a game in which he had a 90.4 PFF pass-rush grade; he had a 69.9 overall grade for the preseason, and an impressive 78.0 pass-rush grade through his four games. Murphy was released for a reason. Aside from his single sack on the year, Murphy's 48.3 PFF grade shows he may have been a bit out of his depth."
The New England Patriots filled an open roster spot by claiming edge rusher Caleb Murphy off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers. Murphy entered the league in 2023, spent time with the Tennessee Titans and Chargers practice squad, and recorded his first career sack in Week 4. A strong preseason performance, including multiple sacks and high PFF pass-rush grades, helped him make the Chargers' roster. His limited NFL sample and a 48.3 PFF grade contributed to his release. Murphy compiled 25.5 sacks in 2022 at Ferris State, won two D-II championships, and earned major D-II awards.
