If Kyler Murray is worried about getting picked up by a team in the NFL, he doesn't need to worry about it for long, because teams are showing interest.
One such team is the Washington Redskins, who have — according to a new report — taken a meeting with the rookie football player.
Redskins president Bruce Allen was specifically asked if the team was interested in Murray, and while he didn't come out and say, directly, that they'd be interested in him, he did take the time to praise Murray's prowess on the field.

“He plays well, he's got this really cool trophy to prove that he played well. He didn't bring it to our meeting the other day, but he's very confident in what he can do.”
Redskins head coach Jon Gruden also echoed the good word about Kyler Murray, and was a bit more direct in his desire to really work with the young player. He even compared him to Russell Wilson.
“I think in the past there would be some major questions about Kyler Murray and his size but I think Russell Wilson has put an end to all that with his ability to escape, throw the ball from the pocket, outside the pocket … and when you watch Kyler play on tape, I don't think there's any concern about his size. He can make every throw from in the pocket, outside the pocket, he's going to run extremely fast, probably 4.3, 4.4 guy. A very exciting, young player that is going to be an excellent NFL quarterback.”
