Murphy last season caught 15 passes for 241 yards with a long gain of 47 yards. He also rushed six times on end-around opportunities, gaining 69 total yards and scoring a 27-yard touchdown. He is currently entering his 4th Raiders season, coming to the team as a 4th round draft choice in 2009 from Florida.
All campers receive a free t-shirt. Parents must provide a signed waiver sheet. Registration may be done on the day of the clinic as well, beginning at 8 a.m., just outside Kezar at Frederick & Willard Streets. Murphy's talk to the campers will begin promptly at 9 a.m.
