Kyler Murray was the talk of the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine without competing in any events. Behind closed doors, it was still an extremely important time for the quarterback.
But perhaps he didn't exactly ace the test.
Former NFL general manager and current NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly what he heard regarding Murray during the combine were "the worst comments I ever got on a high-rated quarterback." It didn't get any better after that.

As Bleacher Report's Matt Miller point out, though, only one team matters when it comes to Murray -- the Arizona Cardinals, who hold the No. 1 pick in the draft.

Did Kyler Murray interview poorly at the combine?
A few teams have said yes. But the only team that matters (#Cardinals) already loves him, so...

Murray met with the Cardinals at the combine, and by Sunday night, it reportedly became a "done deal" that Arizona would select him with the top pick. The quarterback and edge rusher Nick Bosa are now the co-favorites to go No. 1, according to FanDuel Sportsbook in New Jersey.
If Murray does slip past the Cardinals, however, the consensus would be the 49ers top target Bosa comes off the board, putting San Francisco's front office in a sticky situation.
Reports regarding Murray's interviews could be 1. true or 2. a way of teams scaring away the Cardinals to have the electrifying gunslinger on their team. Draft Season could Smoke Screen Season, so hold tight, there's only seven more weeks to go.
