Arizona Cardinals: Day one for Kyler Murray a good one

The Arizona Cardinals rookie mini-camp opened on Friday, which included number one pick quarterback Kyler Murray

It’s only day one, so everything at this should be tempered when it comes to Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray.  However reports from practice on Friday, his first with the team, are favorable.

According to azcentral.com’s Bob McManaman, Murray only threw one bad pass during the open portion of Friday’s workout.  As usual only a portion of practice was open to media.

From his account, Murray connected on 32 deep fade passes.  That would mean a 32/33 mark, at least in the first part of practice.

So what does that mean going forward?  Absolutely nothing.  It could the other way for him tomorrow.  It’s only day one, so there should be no overreaction to anything Murray or any of the other rookies in camp this weekend do.

However, you only get one chance to make a first impression.  So by that thought process, it was a good first impression.  However Murray has a long ways to go over the next four months in preparation for the 2019 regular season.

Murray, who signed his contract earlier in the week, was joined by the remaining draft picks on Friday plus other undrafted invitees.  The remaining unsigned draft picks signed on Friday, leaving none without a contract.

It was also reported by McManaman that Murray had sore feet for not wearing the right show.  He’ll learn.  Again, it was day one and at this point every move he makes will fall under a microscope whether it is on the field or not, fair or not.

So we are now officially in the Kyler Murray era.  We will undoubtedly talk about him on a daily basis but let’s not forget there are many other stories out there.

For now, it was exciting to see the Cardinals second franchise quarterback in as many seasons out there doing work on the field.  Camp resumes on Saturday.
