Arizona Cardinals gunslinger Kyler Murray hasn't been able to do much work on a football field this offseason, but that hasn't prevented him from making improvements in his game. Ahead of his second year in the NFL, Kliff Kingsbury notices an upward shift in confidence from Murray.
“There’s definitely a different level of confidence, a different level of command of the offense and he feels it,” Kingsbury said, via ArizonaSports.com. “Even though we haven’t been able to get out on the grass, he definitely feels a lot more comfortable heading into Year Two.”
As the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Murray put together an impressive rookie campaign last season. While the Cardinals went 5-10-1, Murray threw for 3,722 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions en route to winning the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year Award.
Throughout his rookie year, it was evident that Murray was beginning to become more comfortable in Kingsbury's offense as the season progressed. Even though Kingsbury hasn't been able to work with Murray much this offseason, he sees a more confident Murray.
Without a doubt, Murray possesses all of the talent in the world when it comes to throwing a football. However, he can take his game to another level if he can improve his understanding of the offense.
Of course, the Cardinals acquired DeAndre Hopkins earlier this offseason, giving Murray another receiver to get the ball to. Heading into next season, Murray isn't going to have a shortage of weapons at his disposal. At the same time, he'll be a much-improved quarterback, in terms of his comfortability in Kingsbury's offense.
