Kyler Murray is different. “Different good” or “Different bad”? Just different.
As a quarterback, the NFL hasn’t seen a player of his size and stature perform at a high level in decades. The 5’10 former number one overall pick who was also a top-10 pick in the MLB draft, Murray helped lead the Cardinals to a 7-0 start in 2021, only to see a Kliff Kingsbury-sized collapse happen after losing DeAndre Hopkins to injury.
Arizona must play its first six games of this season without Hopkins, suspended for violating the league’s PED policy, but Murray was “different good” on Sunday by pulling the Cardinals out of a 16-point hole against the Las Vegas Raiders with under nine minutes in the game.
