Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has inspired many with his play on the field since high school, but his leadership is what stood out off the field Monday night in Mexico City.
Back in 2020, 12-year-old Hector Nahle Jr. of Torreon, Mexico, was heading into surgery wearing his favorite player’s jersey: a red No. 1 Murray jersey. Nahle said in a video that the Cardinals’ quarterback was an inspiration to him and that he aspired to one day meet Murray.
Fast forward two years, and the Cardinals were squaring off with the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City, just over an hour flight from Nahle’s hometown.
