Media Day: Stevenson, Murphy Ready for 'Red River Finale'

Super Bowl LX Media Day at Levi’s Stadium offered a perfect microcosm of the teams—and the Red River stars—competing for the Lombardi Trophy.

It wasn’t about trash talk. It was about identity.

Stevenson and The Patriot Way

Rhamondre Stevenson (Oklahoma) sat at his podium with the calmness of a veteran who has carried the rock 51 times in this postseason.

When asked about the workload, Stevenson’s answer was quintessentially Sooner-bred and Patriot-refined: “Whatever it takes.” He isn’t seeking the spotlight; he is the engine. His demeanor reflects the Patriots’ current identity: unflashy, physically punishing, and inevitable. He represents the “Old Guard” of power football.

Murphy and The Seahawks Reload

On the other side, rookie Byron Murphy II (Texas) was loose, confident, and perhaps a bit loud—fitting for a defense trying to recreate the “Legion of Boom.”

Coming off a 7-sack rookie campaign and critical playoff pressures, Murphy spoke less about “doing his job” and more about “wrecking theirs.” His energy is the heartbeat of Mike Macdonald’s defense. He represents the “New Era” of disruptors—fast, violent, and eager to announce their arrival.

The Clash

Sunday isn’t just New England vs. Seattle. It’s Stevenson’s stoic consistency vs. Murphy’s explosive disruption.

Media Day confirmed one thing: neither player is flinching. The Red River Finale is in safe hands.
