Clemson edge rusher Myles Murphy grew up dreaming of sacking Tom Brady. He’ll never get the chance.

Murphy told PFT Live at the Scouting Combine that the quarterback he always wanted to sack was Brady, but unless Brady comes out of retirement, that’s not going to happen. Murphy said Bills quarterback Josh Allen would now be the quarterback he’d most love to sack.

“It’s every pass rusher’s dream to sack Tom Brady, but he just retired — as far as we know,” Murphy said. “I’ve got to pick a new favorite. I’ve heard Josh Allen is pretty hard to take down. Big guy. If I take him down it’s going to be a big accomplishment.”

Murphy should get plenty of opportunities to sack plenty of quarterbacks in the NFL. He’s viewed as a potential Top 10 pick, with many mock drafts penciling him in at No. 8 to the Falcons. That would be welcomed by Murphy, whose parents have had Falcons season tickets for his entire life.

  2. He shouldn’t have any trouble against the Bills offensive line. GET JOSH SOME HELP!!!

  3. How we pick our top QBs these days. Which one would be the biggest honor to take down.

  5. Pump the brakes and just work on getting a sack of anyone, this is the NFL more than one highly rated DE has busted.

  6. Trust me you would not get credit for sacking Tom Brady anyhow… some Ref will throw a flag on you for late hit, roughing, Tuck rule, below the waist, hands (brush) to the face every time.

  7. If he tackles Tom walking to the store, does that count as a sack?

    same with Joshua. At least he is mobile.

  12. “Trust me you would not get credit for sacking Tom Brady anyhow… some Ref will throw a flag on you for late hit, roughing, Tuck rule, below the waist, hands (brush) to the face every time.” Wow I wonder how he has 565 career sacks then. Was he politely asked to lay down each sack? Like the time Brady’s ACL got taken out from a hit below the waist with no penalty? What about the time the Bills blew his helmet off? Or Dumervil crushing Brady into the ground? Or Brady being bloodied from a chin shot? He took some big hits in his career and popped up from every single one. Every QB wants a penalty but Brady is tougher than people give credit and ate some huge hits in his career.
