SUMMARY

Then he creates great separation working all levels of the field. He has really nice intricacies and nuances to his game which makes him more of a refined prospect than he is being given credit for. Musgrave has the traits to be impactful as a rookie at a position that is notoriously hard to transition to in the NFL, expect Musgrave to be challenging round 1 come April
