The Arizona Cardinals infamously selected Heisman Trophy winner and former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. While tabbing the former collegiate stand out as the team's quarterback of the future, the Cardinals were also forced to part ways with fellow up-and-coming signal-caller Josh Rosen, who was selected by Arizona of the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of UCLA.

With the Cardinals going all-in with Murray upon shipping the aforementioned Rosen to the Miami Dolphins, Arizona will obviously be going with the soon-to-be rookie come Week 1 against the Detroit Lions. Although not much is expected of the lowly Cardinals as a whole in 2019, Murray will surely be under the microscope from the very start.

It remains to be seen as to whether Murray can live up to the hype that surrounds him, especially after spurning the Oakland Athletics and Major League Baseball. Because of his superstar status right off the bat, the first-year signal-caller must deliver in 2019.

Kyler Murray Will Surpass 4,000 Total Yards

Luckily for the Arizona Cardinals and the team's fan base, Kyler Murray is already one of the best all-around athletes that the NFL has to offer. Thanks to his unique skill set as both a passer and rusher, Murray will no doubt register more than 4,000 total yards as a rookie this season.

With his ability to move within the pocket in addition to being able to throw on the move and scamper for additional yardage with his legs, opposing defenses will quickly find out exactly what Murray is capable of.

Able to throw all over the field, Murray will more than likely throw for about 3,5000 yards if he manages to play in all 16 regular-season games this time around. Although he can surely surpass 500 rushing yards, a conservative guess places him around this mark as the NFL has become a throw-first league. Even though Murray can run like crazy, the Cardinals will more than likely have him sling the ball a bit more often than he did in college.

Kyler Murray Will Record Less Than 12 Total Turnovers

While accumulating yards in a variety of ways won't be a problem for first-year Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, his versatility will also potentially create turnovers as well. However, one can infer that new Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury will do his absolute best to not only protect Murray but also limit his turnovers. With this in mind, Murray will be able to limit his total turnovers to under 12 in 2019, though fumbling while on the run will have to remain limited throughout. Interceptions happen, but limiting his fumbles will be the icing on the cake to remain under the 12-turnover threshold.

It is also worth noting that Murray simply cannot string together turnovers when things go south at times during his rookie season. Because of his continued success at the collegiate level for Oklahoma last season, Murray may not be used to coming up short at times, which is inevitable as a rookie NFL quarterback. Nonetheless, how Murray ultimately handles the tough times will aid him down the road if he can remain cool, calm, and collected under center.

Kyler Murray's Favorite Wide Receiver Will Be Christian Kirk

With Kyler Murray coming in as a rookie, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk is currently gearing up for his second season atop the highest level. Selected by the Cardinals in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M, Kirk experienced a solid rookie season in 2018 en route to producing 43 receptions for 590 yards and a trio of touchdowns. Appearing in 12 regular-season games as a rookie, he also averaged nearly 14 yards per catch.

Because Kirk showed last season and thus far into this offseason that he has the ability to become a legitimate threat along the outside at the NFL level, it isn't hard to believe that he will soon become Murray's favorite target. With his speed and quickness coupled with his strong hands and ability to run efficient routes, Kirk can follow Murray all over the field in order to get open at unconventional times, which will certainly lead to extra catches, yards down the field and scores.

Not only that, but building a rapport with Kirk quickly will be beneficial for years to come as the two players are just one season apart. Additionally, longtime Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is not going to be around forever while Kirk will be needed to step up in a big way sooner rather than later if Arizona has any hope of some success down the road.
