Kliff Kingsbury got the quarterback he wanted in Kyler Murray.
The Arizona Cardinals head coach just didn't demand it the way some people think.
"That I rolled [in] here and was just like, 'We're taking Kyler Murray,'" Kingsbury told Peter King of NBC Sports about the "biggest misconception" about him. "First off...I don't have that type of juice coming in the door. That wasn't how it went down at all."
Murray was pegged for the Cardinals almost from the second he announced he'd be forgoing a baseball career for the NFL, in large part because of Kingsbury's admiration for the Oklahoma Sooners product.
