Here’s what Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury said about starting quarterback Kyler Murray after last night’s win over Washington.
He said, “I’ve watched that since he was 15 years old. He is one of the most dangerous people probably in the league when he’s in the open field like that, and he is as elusive as anybody, and that’s a weapon.
“He’s just got to be able to protect himself, which he does a good job of,” Kingsbury told ESPN earlier.

Arizona Cardinals’ new recruit, DeAndre Hopkins, was also in awe of Murray’s displays over the first two games of the season. Here’s what the former Houston Texans star said about his quarterback.
“He adds a different dynamic to this offense where he can go and score from 20, 30 yards out. It’s something that is hard for defenders to be able to attack when you have a quarterback like that that is looking to score and not just getting first downs.”

“And, also, when he’s running, he’s looking to throw. As you seen today, the touchdowns that he had, obviously, it was defenders right there in front of him and he made a move or two, and went in for a touchdown,” Hopkins added via NFL Network.
