NFL ready?: Five observations from Kyler Murray’s debut

Last Thursday, Cardinals fans finally got what they had waited all summer for: their first look at #1 overall pick Kyler Murray. It was a brief appearance—just a single series—but Murray looked good, going 6-7 for 44 yards in leading the team to three first downs. He also received an impressive 82.9 grade from PFF.

What can we learn beyond these numbers? It’s tough to say for sure, given the brevity of his appearance (just 11 snaps) and the very basic offense the team ran, but I came away with five observations after watching the tape from his debut.
