Kyler Murray Says There’s No Turning Back On Decision To Play Football, Will Meet With Cardinals

Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray told reporters on Friday that there’s “no turning back” on his decision to play football and is “100% in on this decision.”

“Yes. It’s a final decision. I’m ready to go. I was born a football player,” Murray said, per Albert Breer. 

Murray also confirmed reports that he will not participate in Combine drills and will instead work out at his Pro Day. 

Interestingly enough, Murray confirmed that he’ll meet with the Cardinals at the Combine. 

On Thursday, Murray weighed in at 5-foot-10, 207 pounds at the Combine, which is similar which to Russell Wilson, so that should help his draft stock moving forward. 

Murray made the decision to pursue an NFL career a few weeks ago, despite being drafted by the Oakland A’s last year. He’s now in the discussion to be a top-10 pick and could possibly go No. 1 overall.

During this three-year college career at Texans A&M and Oklahoma, Murray completed 68.7 percent of his passes for 5,098 yards, 48 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. He also rushed for 1,369 and 12 touchdowns over the course of 28 games.
