How Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray adopted philosophies of his idol, Bruce Lee

TEMPE, Ariz. -- To the left of the door inside Kyler Murray's bedroom at his parents' home in Texas, below an Oklahoma Sooners banner, is a black-and-white picture of Bruce Lee.

Whenever Murray has a break from his duties as Arizona Cardinals quarterback and heads back to his home state, he stays with his parents. And every time he's back home, he sees that picture.

It's a reminder of how Murray lives his life in the ethos of Lee, the martial arts master who died 49 years ago.

Murray's mom, Missy, tells her youngest son to always make sure the picture is straight before he leaves his room, otherwise, the zen -- Bruce Lee's zen -- will be off.
