TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Quarterback Kyler Murray spent his rookie season with the Arizona Cardinals dealing with issues big and small: Becoming a leader, reading defenses, studying film and knowing when to use his speed.
Even where to put his AirPods on Sunday mornings so he doesn't forget them and wreck his pregame routine.
“I was already like five minutes away from the house," Murray said with a wry smile, adding it was too late to turn around. "It was tough. That was a tough morning.”
It was one of his few bad moments in a promising season for the 22-year-old, who was selected by the Cardinals with the top pick despite being short for an NFL quarterback at 5-foot-10.
