Murray was a lean but athletic high school prospect who played some corner as well but has ultimately found a home as an NFL free safety which is what we see Mattison as.

Former wide receiver who brings those ball skills to the defensive side of the ball. Rangy, instinctive prospect who can be a center-fielder and take away the middle of the field. No verified speed but shows closing ability to the ball. Fluid, changes direction well. Willing tackler and plays with some physicality but needs to add weight and get stronger. Makes a lot of plays, gets his hands on a lot of passes, and should be high-level starting free safety type with some room for moving around in college.
