STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Murray's 6.5-second pocket escape shows playmaking upside, but consistency needed.

Murray demonstrated extended pocket mobility on a key third-quarter play against New Orleans, evading pressure for 6.5 seconds (per NextGen Stats) before finding Marvin Jones for a 32-yard gain. The source notes this showcases Murray's ability to create plays deep into the down, though emphasizes the need to stack such performances against stronger defenses beyond the Saints.
