If NFL fans know anything about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's off-the-field life, it's that he loves to play . It's right there in the "personal life" section of his Wikipedia page.
In fact, Murray loves the game so much that a widely circulated Reddit post once attempted to measure the quarterback's statistical output on weekends coinciding the game's special promotions. That has helped shape fans' perception of Murray ever since: "He's a good quarterback, for sure, but that gaming habit…"
Murray is here to tell you that no such maladaptive habit exists. In a Wednesday morning chat with ESPN's Kevin Clark on , he discussed the NFL at large's appreciation for the first-person shooter.
"I don't know who made me the face of it," Murray said. "We all play the game. Not just me. I know tons of guys—it's not necessarily a stress reliever, but it allows us to kinda escape every day we're grinding."
Though the Cardinals are 2-4, Murray has remained solid this season—throwing eight touchdowns against two interceptions while rushing for a score as well.
"If you would ask me when I was seven years old, 'Would you be able to partner with ?' Hell yeah. Every kid's taking that deal," Murray said. "I just tell (the trolls) thank you… I appreciate them all."
