Murray: Chemistry with Cardinals 'going to take time'
Despite being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray knows it will take time to mesh with his new teammates under first-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury's system.
"Everybody is not on the same page like I was with my guys in college right now," Murray said Tuesday on Fox Sports Arizona. "I've only been here for a couple of months so it's going to take time, it's going to take reps. But I'm prepared for the ups and the downs, but so far for me, it's been great. The guys have been very accepting of me and I can't wait to get the season started."
Murray has been praised throughout offseason workouts by his teammates, including Larry Fitzgerald and David Johnson.
Arizona's offense, which was ranked 32nd in yards last year, could be revamped this season under Kingsbury. The former Texas Tech coach's Air Raid system should give the rookie quarterback an opportunity to shine in a pass-heavy offense, but Murray knows he has more to learn before the season kicks off.
"I think it will all be an adjustment," Murray said. "Just for all of us rookies, it'll be an adjustment. But I've always been confident in myself, just trust in my abilities, and trust what I can do on the football field along with coach Kingsbury's coaching, teaching me. I think us together, along with the players that we have can be very dangerous."
The 2018 Heisman winner threw for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns in his final year at Oklahoma. He added another 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground.
