Sean McVay recalls the time he tricked Kliff Kingsbury into thinking he could lose Kyler Murray pick

Long before Kliff Kingsbury coached his first game for the Arizona Cardinals, he got his "Welcome to the NFL" moment from a division rival.

During Kingsbury's appearance on The Ringer's "Flying Coach" podcast, Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay recalled how he once used a dinner with Patrick Mahomes and some cell phone trickery to convince his friend that his draft picks were in peril due to tampering violations.

Basically, McVay went out to dinner in Los Angeles with Kingsbury and Mahomes, whom Kingsbury coached at Texas Tech, at some point during the offseason in 2019.
