Gabriel Murphy's path toward making the Minnesota Vikings' final 53-man roster is quite clear

The offseason is officially in full swing now that the NFL Draft and rookie minicamps are over with. Next up is OTAs, mandatory minicamp, and then training camp before the preseason and regular season kick into gear.

The Minnesota Vikings are on track for a very interesting summer. When counting free agent additions, draft picks, and undrafted free agents, Minnesota has over 30 new faces in the fold and all of them will be fighting for a roster spot - whether it's an open spot or not.

One of those new faces is UDFA Gabriel Murphy, who shockingly fell out of the draft. Many experts had him pegged as a Round 4 selection, or early Day 3 pick. But instead, he landed in the Vikings' laps without requiring any draft capital.

Murphy had a very solid career as a pass rusher at UCLA, but his short arms are the catalyst behind his fall. Regardless, he has plenty of other tools that can help him make an NFL roster.

And, the Vikings have the overall availability when it comes to Murphy snagging a spot on the final 53-man rosters.

"Overall, Murphy’s lack of length and desired size will be tougher to mask at the next level, but he was a pass-rushing nuisance in college, because of his skilled hands and quick feet. He has the juice to make an impact as a subpackage rusher who can also play on special teams." - Dane Brugler, The Athletic

Murphy's overall athleticism is a big deal, too. His RAS (relative athletic score) was one of the highest, at 9.28 out of 10, entering Day 3, which should've prompted teams to pull the trigger.
