Former NFL tight-end turned sports analyst Shannon Sharpe is all about professionalism in the league. However, the Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been the centerpiece of the news for just the opposite. Murray has been the talk of the NFL town for his “immature” nature and “questionable” leadership qualities.
The Heisman winner is on the lookout for a new contract with the Cardinals. As much as he is well deserved for a more lucrative contract in terms of his numbers in the field, however, his recent Instagram saga has put him in light for the wrong reasons. Ever since he scrubbed off all the Cardinals’ posts from his Instagram account, he has been questioned for his professionalism.

Though it was not revealed the reason behind his social media actions, but soon after his agent proposed a contract to the Cardinals. Many analysts called him childish for it, and so did Shannon Sharpe.

“You’re the face of a franchise, this goes to when they said they needed someone to be he was like childish in his behavior,” Sharpe added. “There you go! Everything they said about it was 100; because guess what happened he scrubbed it, and then a couple of days later his agent comes out this thing and releases it to the public… Not only is he immature, but his representative is even more immature.”
Sharpe who is a staunch believer of professionalism couldn’t stand Murray’s childish actions and then the justification. “He’s very immature,” Sharpe added. “He showed you he’s very immature, he got a lot of growing up to do.”

To this argument, Skip Bayless added that even though Murray’s playmaking and quickness are incredible, his leadership and tangibles are “highly debatable”.
“You have to own what you doing,” Bayless continued.
Murray, who is now heading towards his fourth year in the league has made quite an impression on others. He has consistently improved his results season after season, but it will be seen how good he really is in the 2022 season.
