Myles Murphy, the Bengals' athletically blessed former first-rounder looking to take the next step off the edge with more than his gifts, has re-shuffled his offseason agenda to get it done.
He switched defensive line trainers. He added an extra day to his work week and goes Monday through Saturday. He prioritized not only his hands, but also the hands of his opponents. He revamped his diet with his own research that included interviewing nutritionists. He bid a bitter farewell to breakfast.
"I haven't eaten cereal in three months," Murphy says. "I feel that in itself, has changed me … because there's a lot of dense, packed sugar in cereal … which a lot of people don't think about. Most mornings, I just do some black coffee and I call it a morning."
