Jonathan Gannon says Kyler Murray is 'lights out' and 'his best ball is right now'

Arizona Cardinals head coach has been effusive in his praise of quarterback Kyler Murray ever since he was hired last year. He said he wouldn’t have taken the job if it weren’t for Murray. Every time he speaks of Murray, it is all positive.

Now that Murray is healthy and able to participate in training camp, that praise continues.

Gannon, interviewed by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Omar Ruiz, had more praise for Murray, calling him “lights out.”

“You couldn’t ask for a better — what he’s doing on the field, off the field, what he’s doing for his game to improve his game, what he’s doing for the offense leadershipwise, what he’s doing for the team leadershiopwise,” he said. “He’s a sounding board for me. We have good candid conversations about what needs to get done and how do we get that done and I put a lot of expectation on him and he’s been fulfilling all of it.”

Just ho good can be Murray in 2024? After all, he played at an MVP level in stretches of 2020 and 2021, and he ended the season playing at a very high level.

Gannon said this: “I love the guy, He’s done everything that I want him to do and I honestly think that his best ball is right now.”
