Murray's Tier 3 ranking offers upside with Vikings' elite defense and new system.
Ranked Tier 3 (#23) by The Athletic's QB tiers, marking his fourth consecutive year in Tier 3 and first time falling outside the top 17 in rankings. However, Sando expresses optimism: "The person I think who will change a lot is Kyler Murray, just because he's around a quarterback coach, he will have weapons, he probably has something to prove, and his ability to escape the pocket, when he is on, is no joke." An offensive coach praised the Vikings signing: "He will respect the head coach (Kevin O'Connell) because he is legitimate, and he needs to shine up what people think about him." Murray benefits from moving to Minnesota's elite defense (3rd in combined EPA over past three seasons vs. Arizona's 31st) and improved offensive weapons, though Arizona's loss of line coach Klayton Adams hurt their run game. An exec notes Murray could thrive with continued good defense, solid rushing attack, and quarterback keeper game usage.
