Former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has been one of the breakout stars of the NFL this year in his second season with the Arizona Cardinals.
The Heisman trophy winner and 2019 top NFL Draft pick has thrown for 3,637 yards and 26 touchdowns while also adding another 741 yards and 11 more scores on the ground. These big time numbers were good enough for Murray to be selected to his first career NFL Pro Bowl on Monday.

Murray joins Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and Seattle’s Russell Wilson as the three quarterbacks picked from the NFC. Set for Jan. 31st, this year’s Pro Bowl won’t be the traditional game but rather a virtual event that will take place throughout the week.
Two other former Sooners were selected as well as former offensive lineman Trent Williams and Orlando Brown also were given the nod.
Murray will hope to keep his big season going when the Cardinals host the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday 3:30 p.m. CT.
