Kyler Murray is league’s most under pressure quarterback

Kyler Murray has the most pressure on him out of any quarterback in the NFL.

Three seasons, three years of win/loss improvement. Two Pro Bowl selections, along with a playoff appearance for the first time in five years. These are just some of the things that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has achieved since being picked first overall in 2019.

Yet, simultaneously, there have been brutally bad losses on top of missed time due to nagging injuries. Murray also has gotten to throw to DeAndre Hopkins and Larry Fitzgerald in his career while also having Zach Ertz and J.J. Watt on the team as well.
