Analysis: Kyler Murray is short, polarizing and a perfect No. 1 pick for a new-look NFL

Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has a chance to be the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. By Adam Kilgore Adam Kilgore Reporter covering national sports Email Bio Follow March 1 at 6:02 PM INDIANAPOLIS — Someday in the distant future, in an attempt to understand the depth of football’s hold on the American populace, historians may begin with what happened here Thursday morning at the NFL Scouting Combine. Kyler Murray described a somehow momentous episode like this: “I showed up.

And so Murray is not only improbably in the NFL draft. He may be taken near the top, if not first overall. The Arizona Cardinals hold the first pick. New coach Kliff Kingsbury recruited Murray — the nation’s top high school player back then — when he was at Texas Tech and subsequently made his affection for his game known. Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim infamously said here that Josh Rosen, their first-round quarterback last season, was the team’s quarterback “for now.

Pro football, and the way the NFL views quarterbacks, has changed. Height is considered a bonus, not a prerequisite. “I look up to him,” Murray said, making a figurative statement that is also literally true. “Watching him do it at [5-11], putting doubters to rest, is a good deal.”

I’m not sure if he will make it but one thing I know for sure he must be able to slide in the NFL. Not only slide but slide soon enough so he doesn’t take a hit. If he can’t master the art of sliding he will be done.

Old look just won the Super Bowl! 🤔

NFL will consider reining in celebrations just a bitSome teams want to keep players from leaving the sideline to join on-field celebrations. At least the ones that aren't a TD. It's stupid to pick up a fumble or get an INT and run down to the end zone with the whole team. The NFL can’t get out of its own way. Yeah that’s what I’d worry about. Attendance and rating have bombed and you keep pushing fans away..
