The San Francisco 49ers only lost four games during the 2019 season, three of them came against teams with a mobile quarterback, something the Niners will face when they play their 2020 NFL season opener against Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals.
The former No. 1 overall pick gave San Francisco’s defense fits during their two matchups last year. In their first meeting, Murray was able to extend plays with his feet, frustrating the 49ers pass rushers.
“They became a very explosive offense towards the second half of the year. A guy like him and from everything you read about and hear about from people around the league is he’s just got an unbelievable mindset and an unbelievable work ethic, Niners’ defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said.
