As a rookie in 2019, Kyler Murray was coming off a college career in which he spent just one season as a starting quarterback. The Arizona Cardinals' No. 1 overall pick was also adjusting to a brand-new coach in Kliff Kingsbury, but he still won Offensive Rookie of the Year.
As a sophomore in 2020, Murray had practically no time to establish chemistry with new No. 1 weapon DeAndre Hopkins because of what the COVID-19 pandemic did to that offseason and preseason. But he still improved statistically while producing a combined 37 passing and rushing touchdowns in his first Pro Bowl campaign.
