Kyler Murray Named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year

Despite a last place finish the NFC West division, A player representing the Arizona Cardinals will be taking home hardware from the NFL Honors hosted Saturday night.

Kyler Murray was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year for the 2019 NFL season. Even with the struggles of the Cardinals, Murray was able to put together a very impressive season and earn this award.

Many critics were concerned how Murray's talents would translate to the NFL. Coming from Oklahoma, Murray previously played in a Big 12 Conference that is notorious for weak defenses.

Other doubters thought Murray was too short to be able to succeed in today's NFL. Murray is listed at 5-10, though his size hardly slowed him down.

Murray silenced all of his haters this season by using both his legs and his arm. Kyler became the second rookie in NFL history to throw for 3,500+ yards and run for 500+ yards.

While the Cardinals finished the season with a 5-10-1 record, that's an improvement from their record the previous year. With Murray at the helm, the Cards are only going to be getting better as the years go on.
