Why Is Jaffer Murphy Trending? NFL Kicker Prospect Stuns with 40 Time, Stats, Videos at UTSA Pro Day

UTSA place kicker Jaffer Murphy reportedly drew some attention from NFL scouts with his speed and leg strength during his Pro Day on Wednesday in San Antonio.

Murphy recorded a 4.50-second 40-yard dash and went 12-for-13 on field goals, including a 70-yarder that hit the back net despite a crosswind.

Representatives from 18 NFL teams were in attendance to watch UTSA's Pro Day. Murphy spoke with every team present, according to 247Sports' Easton Butler.

Murphy has also previously posted video of him recording a 45-inch vertical jump in the gym.

Murphy, who is listed at 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, was a former college soccer player at Drake and Florida Gulf Cost who transferred to UTSA ahead of the 2025 season.

He spent his final college season serving as the team's kickoff specialist, recording 54 touchbacks on 88 kickoffs while appearing in all 13 games for the Roadrunners.
