Even before the 2019 NFL Draft a number of pundits like Ryan Clark were comparing Kyler Murray to a “Mini” Patrick Mahomes:
After being selected #1 in the 2019 NFL Draft, Kyler Murray, when asked about pundits comparing him to Patrick Mahomes, lauded Mahomes for “already being an NFL MVP” and said “so yeah, I take that as a compliment.”
After all, the two young QBs do have a number of things in common:
- Highly heralded as Texas high school standouts in football and baseball.
- Both Murray and Mahomes were selected in the NFL (1st Round) and MLB drafts (1st and 37th rounds).
