Expecting Big Things From Kyler Murray In His Sophomore Season
The MMQB's Conor Orr has put together a list of ten non-rookie NFL players who have never made a Pro Bowl but he believes will this season. Right at the top of it is Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray. Sports Illustrated host Robin Lundberg talked with Orr about how Murray could improve from his initial campaign and why the whole league is interested to see what he will do.
Read the full video transcript:
Robin Lundberg: There are some non rookies in the NFL who haven't made a Pro Bowl yet, but the MMQB's Conor Orr believes that they will. For more, I'm joined by Conor himself. And Conor, I want to start with that. The guy who is the biggest name on your list, that is Kyler Murray. How big a leap do you expect him to take from his rookie season to his sophomore campaign?
Conor Orr: Well, I think the Cardinals are the Browns of last offseason, and the hype is overwhelming. Kyler Murray had a fantastic rookie season. And I think this offense is only going to get harder to stop. They run four wide receivers. That's more than any other team in the NFL. That's more attempts at passing. And you have DeAndre Hopkins now in the fold. So I think the sky's the limit for this guy.
Robin Lundberg: You know, when it comes to rookie QBs, obviously you expect growth, right? But there is also the school of thought that they're new and fresh and people haven't seen them and will adjust a little bit. How do you expect Kyler Murray to get better himself?
Conor Orr: Well, I think it's unique in that he's been running a version of this offense since he was in middle school and he has a very close relationship with Kingsbury. So a lot of that stagnation that happens in year two with quarterbacks and coaches has already been blown by by Kyler and Kliff since they've been running this offense for so long. So I think that they'll have a chance to get deeper into this scheme and get more creative.
Robin Lundberg: And it will certainly be fun to watch. Connor, appreciate your time, as always.
