During his four-year career in Athens, Murray completed 62.3 percent of his passes for 13,166 yards, 121 touchdowns. Murray is not only Georgia’s all-time leader in both passing yards and touchdowns, he is currently the all-time SEC leader in both stats, too. After leaving Georgia, Murray was a fifth-round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Kansas City Chiefs. Murray left Kansas City after two seasons.
While last year’s No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff is the unquestioned quarterback for the Rams moving forward, Murray could position himself into the backup role this offseason and could potentially threaten for playing time based on Goff’s rocky rookie campaign with the Rams.
