NFL draft 2019: Scouting OU's Kyler Murray and other top QB prospects

Kyler Murray, Oklahoma

Height: 5-10

Weight: 207

Hand size: 9 ½ inches

40 time: Did not run 40 at scouting combine or pro day

Strengths: Very accurate quarterback coming off a brilliant 2018 season in which he threw 42 touchdown passes and just seven interceptions. He completed 69 percent of his passes … Has excellent arm strength and uses good touch when needed … Very athletic quarterback who can use his feet to get out of trouble in the pocket.

Weaknesses: Some teams will have concerns about his height, although many scouts compare him favorably to Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson … Most likely won’t be used under center because he’s so short, which may create limitations in the running game … Runs the risk of having passes batted down at the line of scrimmage because of his lack of height, but generally avoided knockdowns last season.
