YO MURPHY Wide Receiver Inducted in 2002 Arguably no player, with the exception of national receiver Scott Couper, has enjoyed as warm a relationship with Claymores fans as Yo Murphy. The popular little receiver played three years for the Silver and Blue - 1996, 1997 and 1999. He was a key player throughout the 1996 campaign and his three-touchdown performance in the world Bowl that year was truly outstanding. He connected on scores of six, 16 and 71 yards and helped the Claymores to victory over Frankfurt Galaxy at Murrayfield. Unsurprisingly, Murphy was named MVP that afternoon. He returned to the Claymores the following year, then again in 1999 and remains the Claymores' all-time receiving leader with 1,609 yards and 11 touchdowns. Murphy went on to star with the St Louis Rams as receiver and kick off return specialist and was the first player to touch the ball at Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans, but unfortunately his Rams lost to the New England Patriots. At the end of the 2002 season he signed a two-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
