Kyler Murray: As Marvin Harrison Jr

Late last season, Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray said that his connection with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. wasn’t where the team needed it to be and stated that constructing his chemistry with the 2024 first-round pick is a top priority.

Murray reviewed the topic in an interview with Arizona Sports today and stated that the duo has “to be much better” in their second season together. He went on to predict that “we will be better” and stated that it will come with Harrison “being more open, being more comfortable with the guys in the locker room, being more comfy with me, being more comfy just to speak his mind within the receiving room.”

It’s an evolution that Murray stated will take place with time and it’s one that he’s confident will benefit Harrison on the field.

“I comprehend him in the sense of he’s got this name and he wishes to simply come in and prove himself,” Murray stated. “Individuals say he’s not talkative. Well, they would have said I wasn’t talkative my rookie year, either, due to the fact that all I wanted to do was been available in and reveal guys I deserve where they picked me and who I am. So, I comprehend that part of his character. But as he gets more comfy, he’s going to continue to grow. I truly think that.”

Harrison came into the NFL with plenty of excitement, however his 62 catches for 885 lawns and eight touchdowns were seen as a bit underwhelming when all was stated and done. If that becomes the flooring for a bigger 2025, there will not be numerous problems in Arizona.
