Kyler MurrayQB

Murray was a top-12 quarterback every year of his career until last year, when he was a horrible fit for the Drew Petzing system. The Arizona Cardinals were terrible at every level (offensive line, defensive line, wide receivers). With Kevin O'Connell as an 'absolute quarterback whisperer,' Murray should rebound significantly. However, the source sees only a potential leap and does not consider it 'particularly likely' that Murray will add rushing production; he ran frequently at Incarnate Word and Washington State but was not used as a rusher at Miami or in Tennessee last year. The source suggests monitoring preseason and early-season usage to see if Brian Daboll's offense will add rushing production to Murray's game.
