Oakland Raiders
Murray was selected by the Oakland Raiders with the 181st overall pick in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.[34] He was the 15th running back to be selected in that year's draft.[35]
2013 season: Rookie year
The Oakland Raiders signed Murray to a four-year, $2.26 million contract on June 6, 2013. It also included $106,200 guaranteed and a signing bonus of $106,200.[36]
On August 27, 2013, before the start of the regular season, Murray was placed on injured reserve, ending his rookie season before it even started.[37]
2014 season
After being third on the depth chart for the first half of the season behind veterans Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew, the Raiders turned to Murray in Week 11 to provide a spark after ineffectiveness by McFadden and Jones-Drew all year. He responded by totaling 59 yards on seven carries against the San Diego Chargers.[38] On November 20, 2014, he finished with four carries for 112 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, marking his first career touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.[39] It also marked the first rushing touchdown the Chiefs defense allowed all season and his 90-yard touchdown marked the longest rush for the Raiders that year. The solid performance by Murray contributed to the Raiders' first victory of the 2014 season.[40] After having success on his first three attempts, he suffered a concussion on his fourth carry and was taken out of the game.[41]
Murray returned to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14 and finished the 24–13 victory with 23 carries for 76 rushing yards.[42] In the next game, he earned his first NFL start against the Chiefs and had 12 rushing attempts for 59 yards.[43] In Week 16, he gained 86 yards on 16 carries and had his second consecutive start against the Buffalo Bills.[44] Murray remained the starting running back for the last three games of the season and finished his first year with 82 carries, 424 rushing yards, and two rushing touchdowns in 15 games.[45]
2015 season
Murray entered the season as the Raiders' number one tailback and was expected by the Raiders to receive the majority of the carries after the retirement of Maurice Jones-Drew and the departure of Darren McFadden. As expected, he began the season as the Raiders' starting running back and had 11 attempts for 44 yards in the season-opening 33–13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.[46] Two weeks later, Murray ran for a career-high 139 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in a 27–20 win over the Cleveland Browns.[47] On November 1, against the New York Jets, he had 113 rushing yards in the 34–20 victory.[48]
On Christmas Eve, Murray became the first Raider to reach the 1,000-yard mark rushing, since Darren McFadden did in 2010. His performance of 79 yards on 19 carries, 38 yards on five receptions and a rushing touchdown, helped edge a victory over the San Diego Chargers with a final score of 23–20 on Thursday Night Football in overtime.[49][50]
Overall, Murray finished the 2015 season with 1,066 rushing yards and six touchdowns along with 41 receptions for 232 yards.[51]
2016 season
Murray started the season off with a rushing touchdown in three straight games against the New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons, and Tennessee Titans.[52][53][54] On October 23, against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he had 59 rushing yards and two touchdowns.[55] On November 6, in a 30–20 victory over the Denver Broncos, he had 114 rushing yards and three touchdowns.[56] In a 38–24 victory over the Buffalo Bills on December 4, he ran for 82 rushing yards and two touchdowns.[57] In a 21–13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs four days later, he had his third straight game with a rushing touchdown to go along with 103 rushing yards.[58]
Murray finished the regular season playing in 14 games and rushing for 788 yards and a career-high 12 rushing touchdowns.[59] His pass protecting ability was rated third best in the NFL among running backs.[60] On January 7, Murray made his playoff debut in the Wild Card Round against the Houston Texans. In the 27–14 road loss, he finished with 39 rushing yards and his first NFL postseason rushing touchdown.[61]
Minnesota Vikings
On March 16, 2017, Murray signed a three-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings.[62][63] In his opening statement to Vikings fans, Murray stated on his Instagram account: "There wasn't a thought in my mind to try and wear or ask for the No. 28. I have too much respect for Adrian Peterson and so much respect for what he's done and what he means to this organization."[64] During his first press conference as a Viking, Murray announced that he would be wearing #25 in honor of his best friend, who had died in 2016.[65] On March 22, 2017, it was revealed Murray underwent ankle surgery.[66]
2017 season
On September 11, 2017, in the season opener against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, Murray had two rushes for six yards in his Vikings debut, ultimately being out-shined by rookie Dalvin Cook.[67] However, Cook tore his ACL in a game against the Detroit Lions, creating an opportunity for Murray. During Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens, Murray rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown as the Vikings won 24–16.[68] On November 19 against the Los Angeles Rams, he ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the 24–7 victory.[69] In the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears, Murray had 111 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the 23–10 victory.[70]
Murray finished his first season with the Vikings with 842 rushing yards and eight touchdowns along with 15 receptions for 103 yards.[71] The Vikings finished atop the NFC North with a 13–3 record and made the playoffs as the #2-seed.[72] In the 29–24 victory over the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional Round, Murray ran for 50 yards and a touchdown.[73] In the 38–7 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship, he was limited to 18 rushing yards on six carries.[74]
2018 season
In the first five games of the 2018 season, Murray totaled 30 carries for 106 yards and nine receptions for 60 yards in a limited role.[75] In Week 6, against the Arizona Cardinals, he rushed for a career-high 155 yards and a touchdown in a 27–17 victory.[76] In the next game, a 37–17 victory over the New York Jets, he had 69 rushing yards and two touchdowns.[77]
