Nicholas Jon Murphy (born October 22, 1979 in Saint Louis, Missouri) is an American football punter for the Philadelphia Eagles. Since 2002, he has also played for the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs, as well as in NFL Europa. He played college football at Arizona State University.
A three-year letterman at Arizona State, Murphy was a Ray Guy Award semi-finalist as the nation’s top punter and was named honorable mention and 2nd Team All-Pac 10. Murphy was also named to the Academic All-Pac 10 Team twice.
Murphy was originally signed as a rookie free agent by the Minnesota Vikings in 2002. He was resigned prior to the 2003 season, when he was allocated to the NFL Europe's Barcelona Dragons. He spent the 2003 and 2004 seasons honing his skills in NFL Europe, playing with Barcelona and the Scottish Claymores, and was voted to the All NFL Europe Team in both seasons.
In 2004, Murphy enjoyed a three-game stint with Baltimore, subbing for an injured Dave Zastudil. He played in five regular season NFL games with the Ravens and Chiefs in 2004, punting 22 times for 966 yards (43.9 gross, 37.3 net) with seven inside the 20 and three touchbacks. In 2005 he appeared in one game for the Philadelphia Eagles in their victory over Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers.
