TEMPE Sione Takitaki Jersey , Ariz. (AP) — high school quarterback in Allen, Texas.Kingsbury recruited Murray when he was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M and remained in touch with the talented quarterback as the coach at Texas Tech, even though he played for a rival school.Now the pair have been reunited, the Heisman Trophy winner and the first-year Arizona Cardinals head coach ushering in a new era in the desert.“As a player, you want to have a guy who knows what you do, respects your game and is behind you at all cost,” Murray said Friday during his introductory news conference. “He was always that guy for me.”The Cardinals took an unusual step to land an unusual player, using the No. 1 pick in the NFL draft to take Murray a year after moving up to take Josh Rosen at No. 10.Arizona’s brass says it still likes Rosen, despite trading him to Miami for the 62nd pick this year and a fifth-rounder in 2020. The Cardinals selected Massachusetts receiver Andy Isabella with the No. 62 pick.It’s just that they liked Murray even more, seeing him as a transformative player for a franchise needing to make an about-face.Murray is a dynamic athlete who became the first person to be selected in the first round of the MLB and NFL drafts. He accounted for more than 5,300 yards and 54 touchdowns at Oklahoma, following the footsteps of Baker Mayfield onto the Heisman Trophy stage and as the first name called at the NFL draft.“He’s a dynamic talent, a unique talent I don’t think anybody’s seen when you talk about that combination of runner and passer Sheldrick Redwine Jersey ,” Kingsbury said.The two-sport star appeared to be headed down the baseball route after a superb sophomore season led the Oakland Athletics to draft him with the ninth overall pick of the 2018 MLB draft. An outfielder, Murray agreed to a minor league contract with a $4.66 million signing bonus. The A’s even had a locker with Murray’s jersey hanging in it at their spring training facility in Phoenix.Murray did end up in Arizona, but with the Cardinals after deciding in February he would pursue an NFL career.“It’s been a long time, having a decent baseball season, getting drafted and in the back of my head wanting to ball out that season, then be here in this position,” Murray said. “I feel like everything was planned, everything was thought out and now that’s it here, it’s kind of crazy. At the same time, this is where I wanted to be.”The knock on Murray has always been his size. At 5-foot-10, he is not the prototypical quarterback.He also can do things few quarterbacks of any size can do.Murray is perfectly comfortable in the pocket and has superb awareness, able to slide away from pressure to avoid sacks. He’s shifty, too Austin Seibert Jersey , so tacklers rarely get a clean shot and he has an ability to change arm angles to wing passes around big on-rushing arms.Flush him from the pocket and Murray becomes even more dangerous. Fast and agile, he moves more like a running back than a quarterback, a player who can make tacklers miss and reel off huge gains.Murray has obviously yet to play a down in the NFL, but has been compared to Russell Wilson, Seattle’s 5-10 quarterback.“There is no doubt Russell sort of broke the mold and now you see the things Kyler did on a big stage against big-time teams,” Kingsbury said. “His foot speed, his athleticism, his ability to create in space is second to none.”He also had a good teacher.Murray’s father, Kevin, was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers before going to Texas A&M, where he was a two-time, second-team All-American. Kevin Murray now runs a quarterback training service and has worked with Kyler since a young age.“His dad is one of the top quarterback mentors in the country,” Kingsbury said. “He was raised to be super competitive. He’s been around it Trysten Hill Jersey , he knows what it looks like. He’s had success at every level. He doesn’t know anything but winning.”The Cardinals are hoping Murray can keep the trend going. Count Baker Mayfield among the people who thought the Giants were being a little dangerous in late April.In an interview with Clay Skipper of , Mayfield made these eyebrow-raising comments about the sixth overall pick in the 2019 draft: “I cannot believe the Giants took Daniel Jones. . . . Blows my mind.”Mayfield’s primary criticism comes from the fact that Jones had a record of 17-19 at Duke.“Some people overthink it,�? Mayfield told . “That’s where people go wrong. They forget you’ve gotta win. . . . Either you have a history of winning and being that guy for your team . . . or you don’t.”That’s all fine. He undoubtedly said what the said. And he’ll be criticized for saying what he said. But when will non-sports outlets like be criticized for drawing controversial remarks from young, inexperienced players in a casual setting, where they often don’t realize anything they say can and will be used against them? Last year, it was Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, who learned his lesson the hard way about anything and everything he says to Clay Skipper of being fair game. This year, it’s Mayfield, who blurted out his opinion about the Giants and Jones after noticing a segment about the Giants while Mayfield and Skipper were having a meal.It’s disingenuous, in my view, for reporters to play that “gotcha!” game, treating every word uttered during an encounter with the subject of an interview as fair game unless and until the subject of the interview utters the magic words: ” And for people who cover the NFL on a regular basis, those tactics are among the quickest ways to run out of people to interview.Over the past 10 years Connor McGovern Jersey , I’ve interviewed more players and coaches than I can remember; the number likely falls somewhere between 250 and 500. And there have been plenty of interesting and/or funny things said before the interview officially began. And I’ve never repeated anything that was said before the interview officially began, even though the comments rarely were accompanied by the invocation of “.”Maybe that makes me not as good as I could be at my job. (There are plenty of things that could be pointed to in order to prove that true.) Maybe I missed that day in J-School. (In fairness to me, I missed all of them.) But it ultimately comes down to how we treat others, and it feels improper and wrong to on one hand try to get people comfortable and relaxed for an interview and on the other hand rush to highlight the things they say while they are comfortable and relaxed, but before they realize that the interview actually has begun.And because isn’t regularly interviewing NFL players, they don’t have to worry about Ramsey being pissed or Mayfield being pissed or the next guy being pissed. Because there will always be a next guy who gladly accepts the chance to have a photo spread in if it means submitting to an interview with someone who isn’t a sports reporter and thus who won’t ask any questions that could lead to problematic answers.Until realizing, once the story is published, that something they didn’t even realize was an official answer became the problematic answer.
