The Chargers were one of the teams in attendance for the workout for Clemson edge defenders Myles Murphy and KJ Henry, according to The Charlotte Observer’s Mike Kaye.
Clemson’s initial pro day was a few weeks ago but Murphy and Henry didn’t participate.
Touted as one of the top players at his position, Murphy recorded 18.5 sacks and five passes defended in 35 games.
At 6-foot-5 and 268 pounds, Murphy is a player who offers a combination of size, power and athleticism at the position, as well as some pass-rushing alignment versatility.
Murphy is projected to be a first-round pick.
Meanwhile, Henry had also had a productive career for the Tigers, amassing 139 tackles, 28 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks and 11 passes broken up over 58 games.
At 6-foot-4 and 251 pounds, Henry has quickness off the edge needed to create pressure on the quarterback and the play strength at the point of attack in the run game.
Murphy projects as a fourth or fifth round selection.
The Chargers need more talent in the edge defender room. The duo of Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack is great, but Los Angeles struggled to generate pressure when Bosa was out for most of the season with a torn groin.
Therefore, they will be in the market for a player at the position in this year’s draft, and Murphy or Henry could be on their board if they’re still available when they’re on the clock.
