For quite some time, the Arizona Cardinals had steered clear of the idea of a running quarterback. Individuals like Josh Rosen, Carson Palmer, Kurt Warner and Matt Leinart rarely did damage to opposing defenses with their legs. In fact, the last Cards signal-caller with that kind of ability was Jake “The Snake” Plummer, who left the organization back in 2003.
When the Arizona front office used this year’s first-overall draft pick on Kyler Murray, they knew they were getting a passer who can run. Not just a runner, mind you.
