Jim Trotter also said that the Cardinals expect more out of Murray when it comes to his leadership skills and that people in the organization have approached him about it.

“Great quarterbacks raise the play of those around him. Kyler has not reached that point in his career.”

We talked Kyler Murray this morning. He has all the tools to be great, but he is not there yet. Will he get there? Much of that answer rests solely with him. 👇🏾 pic.twitter.com/KaYCh47L91
