Byron Murphy II is poised for a breakout season with the Seattle Seahawks as he enters his second year in the NFL. The 2024 first-round draft pick battled injuries during his rookie campaign, limiting his snap count and impact on the field. Despite a modest Pro Football Focus score of 57.8 and a pass-rushing grade of 64.5, advanced analytics suggest Murphy's potential. His strong metrics on true pass sets and a solid run-stop rate indicate a player who can elevate his game significantly this season.

With the return of veteran teammates Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed, the competition for snaps will remain fierce. However, Murphy's promising statistics, including a pass-rush win rate of 10%, hint at his capability to make significant contributions. Excitement surrounds his development, and he’s been featured as a key player to watch on a potential NFL All-Breakout Team.
