Overview

Kyler Murray put together a fantastic season for the Sooners in 2018.  He threw for 4,361 yards, completed 69% of his passes, 42 TD’s and only 7 INT’s, which culminated in a Heisman Trophy.  He is a dual threat QB, but make no mistake about it, he wins from the pocket.  In a weak QB class, he should be a top 10 pick.  He might even be drafted with the first overall pick.
