TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray has been around the NFL long enough to have seen a few things.
The 27-year-old was the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2019. He’s been a two-time Pro Bowl selection.
He’s led the Arizona Cardinals to an 11-win season. He’s suffered playoff disappointment . He’s seen one head coach hired and another fired . He’s torn knee ligaments and missed nearly a year.
With all that experience as background, he still believes the Cardinals are on the right track despite a 2-4 record this season, steadfastly supporting second-year coach Jonathan Gannon as the two embark on their first Monday night game together when they host the Los Angeles Chargers.
Six years after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick after winning the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma, Murray is in his NFL prime.
“We’re 2-4, but when we go out there on Sunday and we’re on the field, you’re at that point where you’ve seen pretty much all of it,” Murray said. “It’s a good feeling. Obviously, we have to deliver and execute.”
