Kyler Murray is someone who has become accustomed to doing the unthinkable. You have to be someone special to be drafted in the 1st round of both the NFL and the MLB draft. Kyler has put the league on notice since the Arizona Cardinals drafted him as the No. 1 pick in the 2019 draft. The Heisman trophy winner has attributed his success to his first coach, his father Kevin Murray, and his mom Missy Henderson.
‘Murray of Hope’ comes from a family of athletes. His father, Kevin Murray, used to be a college football player and represented Texas A&M University and his uncle Calvin has also played in the MLB. The dual genetics make more sense now, don’t they? He is so good that people even compare him to the Arizona legend, Larry Fitzgerald. But these insane genetics weren’t passed down just to Kyler. His step-siblings, Kevin and Precious Murray, also had the privilege of being born into the family. Let us know a bit more about them.
Before meeting Missy Murray, Kyler’s father had two kids. Kyler has an elder stepbrother named Kevin Murray Jr and, being the first son of the family, Kevin Jr. inherited his father’s name. His private life keeps us from knowing much about Kyler’s half-brother. But it’s safe to say that, unlike Kyler, his elder brother didn’t play sports professionally.

The adage ‘ like father, like son ‘ couldn’t be more true for Kyler and Kevin. Just like Kyler, the QB’s dad also excelled at both sports. Not only was Kevin a college football player at Texas A&M University, but also an MLB player. The Milwaukee Brewers drafted Kevin Murray in the 11th Round of the 1982 MLB Draft and he played one season for their Pikeville team before deciding to quit baseball and pursue football in Texas A&M University.
