Murray is also considered a leader. His Dad is a pastor. His family adopted three kids that were developmentally challenged when Murray was 10. Murray shouldered responsibility as an older brother to them. Murray is also a gym rat and studies film.

On defense more blitzing an stop getting i 3rd an long
