Murray last played in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills in 2023. He played in 16 games and finished with 300 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns.
In total, Murray played nine seasons in the NFL for six different teams. His career got off to a promising start with the then-Oakland Raiders, who drafted Murray in the sixth round out of UCF in 2013.
Murray broke out in 2015 with 1,066 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. He made the Pro Bowl that season and had 12 rushing scores the following year, but he wound up having only the one 1,000-yard campaign.
In addition to the Bills and Raiders, Murray also had brief stints with the Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos. He finishes his career with 6,552 rushing yards, 1,620 receiving yards and 61 total touchdowns.
