Kyler Murray has shown steady progress since joining the Cardinals in 2019. Murray was adjudged the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year last season.
He will be crucial for the Cardinals this year as well. In light of Patrick Mahomes’ recent 10-year deal, Murray has also been tipped to bag a similar deal if he continues to impress in 2020.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, three-time NFL Pro Bowl member Maurice Jones-Drew said he would sign Murray to a long-term deal if he was in Arizona.
“I’m taking the 2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year, Kyler Murray. The kid is a ripe 22 years old and the centerpiece of an Arizona Cardinals team on the come-up.
“The 2019 No. 1 overall pick lived up to the hype as a dual-threat quarterback who thrilled in Kliff Kingsbury’s Air Raid offense with impressive throws and timely rushes.
“Some might argue that Lamar Jackson would be a better choice, but Murray’s playing style isn’t quite as concerning as the reigning league MVP’s,” Maurice said.
