Why Kyler Murray will be under the NFL's microscope leading up to the draft combine

FORT WORTH - Since Kyler Murray has picked football, the questions have shifted.

Ahead of the NFL combine, it's about how Murray measures up, not his choice of sports or athleticism or his amazing numbers at Oklahoma and Allen High School.

In the media availability Monday before picking up the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top quarterback, an interviewer noted that O'Brien was only 5-7 while starring at TCU in 1938 and '38.

"Yes, I know that," Murray said. "So me and him have something in common."

For all the draft watchers, he immediately clarified the quote when asked what the combine would reveal.
