Kyler vs. Russ: Comparing their rookie seasons

The Cardinals take on the Seahawks this weekend, which means the inevitable Kyler Murray/Russell Wilson comparisons are coming… again.

We heard them all throughout the draft process and the offseason, then again in Week 4 when these teams squared off for the first time. The comparisons are certainly warranted—they’re both diminutive, African-American quarterbacks who can scramble. They even put up similar numbers in that Week 4 matchup: 22/32 for 241 yards with 1 (rushing) TD and 1 INT for Kyler, 22/28 for 240 yards and 1 TD for Russ. They both also took four sacks apiece for good measure.
