Player #2 – Byron Murphy

Murphy has been the Arizona Cardinals best corner since Patrick Peterson left, compiling four interceptions and 16 passes defensed in that span. While he struggled last season, he also played with injuries that ultimately sidelined him after just nine games.

To gain a more accurate picture of what Murphy represents, let’s check out his advanced statistics from 2021. That season, he logged four picks for 98 yards, including one pick six that helped the Cardinals avoid a massive upset in Jacksonville. He also allowed just an 87.3 passer rating.

His 2022 numbers, weren’t terrible either, allowing just 6.0 yards per target, and 9.4 yards per completion. He also ultimately led the Cardinals to a big win in Week 2 over the Las Vegas Raiders, returning a Hunter Refrow fumble for a the game-winning touchdown.
