Kyler Murray declares for NFL draft

[Codaxx]

I think it will come down to what the Jaguars do. I think the Jags will trade up to get Haskins. So I think Murray will go to the Giants.

A NYG offense with Murray, Barkley and OBJ, with Evan Engram at TE would be pretty tough.

I don’t see that happening. Giants are a lot of things, but nobody has ever cAlled them cutting edge. I don’t see them taking a risk on a player that is so far away from the prototype

Kyler Murray commits to football over baseball:

Moving forward, I am firmly and fully committing my life and time to becoming an NFL quarterback. Football has been my love and passion my entire life. I was raised to play QB, and I very much look forward to dedicating 100% of myself to being the best QB possible and winning NFL championships. I have started an extensive training program to further prepare myself for upcoming NFL workouts and interviews. I eagerly await the opportunity to continue to prove to NFL decision makers that I am the franchise quarterback in this draft.

Good luck and enjoy the $$$, Kyler. But.........you're a little guy and the shots you're inevitably going to take will guarantee it isn't easy money.

To be fair a backup QB in the NFL is the best job in the world plus you travel in style instead of Double A bus trips which would be miserable.

He seems like a good kid, and is one of the more exciting QBs to watch in a while, and I wish him the best no matter what he chooses, but it's just hard for me to see his NFL career not having the same trajectory as RG3.

How do you predict a knee injury on someone who hasn’t had any serious injury (not that I know of and probably not what you exactly meant)?

Doesn't really have to be a knee injury. I think he comes in and is the next best thing for a while, but with his size and running around the way he does, it's just a matter of time before he gets seriously injured.

Wishing you him the best of luck. Glad to see people reach their desires.

I think you are right.
But I thought the same thing about Baker Mayfield and Kylar Murray while at Oklahoma, and it never happened.

It just seems like it's going to happen.

Nobody has had a serious injury until they have a serious injury. If you do not have a contingency plan prepared, especially at an injury prone position, you are a fool.

Depending on how his team use him and how good he’s in the pocket, I don’t see his chance at injury higher than your avg. QB. The way QBs are protected now, the only thing to worry about is height and I think that element is a little over hyped

Kliff Kingsbury’s a coward if he doesn’t draft Kyler Murray

+1

I expected him to be an all conference type while battling some kind of injury.(turf toe, ankle sprain...)

5’9” 165 pounds. We should pray for his safety.

5’10” and 207 lbs measures at the combine. Good lord, it never ceases to amaze me how people talk out their ass.

I don’t blame someone for thinking that. He looked extremely little out on the field, I don’t know why?

I would have guessed 5’8”, 5’9” tops.

Did they measure his hands yet? If he has big hands, he won’t have any flags against him.

Prove it on a yardstick. There is no way he is 5’10”. Tua is 5’10” and was taller than the infant Murray!

Take it up with the combine.

I’m guessing the NFL combine has no dog in this fight. He not only measured 5’10”, but he was actually 1/8” taller than they had him listed at Oklahoma.

Bama fan can't even get the height of his team's own quarterback right.

Tua is 6'1". (sources: 1, 2, 3)

Height surprised me.

I bet he's not 207 when he actually runs, though.
