- Sep 7 Kyle Odegard (X) I was amazed watching 5-foot-10 Kyler Murray in training camp make throws from inside the pocket with massive OL and DLinemen around him so I sought to find out how he does it. I asked KOC, a former coach of his, a QB trainer and a physics professor

- Sep 2 Vikings Team Site Nolan Teasley on Vikings Roster Build, Kyler Murray's Trajectory & J.J. McCarthy's Role
- Sep 2 Kyle Odegard (X) Kyler Murray wasn’t a top-10 QB during his Cardinals tenure. I asked former backup Chris Streveler if Kyler has the requisite talent to get there with the Vikings. “For sure. He’s got the ability, and he’s done it before, right? He’s shown that he can do it. In terms of guys being able to throw the ball and run the ball like him, it’s Kyler and Lamar (Jackson), maybe. “It’s a little bit of a different skillset, like Kyler’s acceleration is crazy. I’ve never seen someone go from zero to 60 as fast as he does. It’s special. He’s obviously got it in him. He can do it.”
- Sep 2 Kyle Odegard (X) I asked former Cardinals QB Chris Streveler about Kyler Murray’s perceived personality flaws. “I think the media is always going to take a narrative and run with it. I’ve been around a lot of guys who have been somewhat misunderstood. Kyler being one of them. Aaron Rodgers was another. I had positive experiences with both of those guys. … I always tried to take guys at face value for what they brought to the room, how they treated me, and I always had a positive experience with Kyler.”
