For the second time in as many years, a Heisman-winning-Oklahoma quarterback is selected first overall. This time, by the Arizona Cardinals.
In his 2018 campaign with the Sooners, Murray recorded 4,361 yards, 42 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. Though Oklahoma was not able to make to the national championship, Arizona saw all they needed to see in Murray who has been compared to Russell Willson. In saying so, Murray has been a constant talking point this NFL offseason. Much like Willson, due to his height, many believed Murray was not able to be the first-overall selection. Measuring in at the NFL combine at 5’10” and 195 lbs, height seemed to be a non-factor for the Cardinals as they secured their ‘next’ franchise quarterback.
