Kyler Murray adds value with legs in Week 1

Kyler Murray’s legs were extremely valuable to the Cardinals, writes The Athletic’s Sheil Kapadia in his article on things we learned in Week 1:

“Kyler Murray can gash really good defenses with his scrambling. There are the raw numbers. Murray ran 13 times for 91 yards in the Cardinals’ win over the 49ers. And then there are the advanced stats. No quarterback in the last five years has produced a higher single-game EPA on scrambles than Murray did Sunday, according to TruMedia. Murray had a 25-yard scramble on a 3rd-and-17 and a 22-yard touchdown run. When the offense wasn’t operating smoothly, he put the team on his back. In his second season, Murray is on the short list of most fun players to watch.”
