Former Oklahoma Sooner quarterback and current 2019 NFL Draft prospect Kyler Murray quickly became the talk of the town at this year's NFL Scouting Combine despite not participating in most drills. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner still managed to “win” the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine after coming in a bit taller than expected.
As a result, it seems a slew of teams have checked in with Murray ahead of April's NFL Draft, a list that apparently includes the always-dangerous Seattle Seahawks. According to a recent report from NBC Sports' Peter King, the Seahawks met with Murray at this year's NFL Scouting Combine. It remains to be seen just how much the former Sooner standout's stock will rise in the next few months.

However, it goes without saying that if Seattle does ultimately manage to acquire Murray, a quarterback controversy would immediately ensue due to the steady presence of veteran signal caller and Super Bowl champion Russell Wilson.
One thing is for sure: NFL fans will definitely be glued to the television in late April, mostly to see where Murray comes off the board. It is worth noting: Most fans shouldn't get their hopes up too high; Murray could be drafted somewhere in the top five, leaving only a few teams as true possibilities.
