The most interesting team entering this season could very well be the Arizona Cardinals. With Kliff Kingsbury taking over as head coach, there was a lot of intrigue as to what the former Texas Tech coach would do with their offense. That intrigue turned into excitement when the Cardinals decided to take Kyler Murray with their first overall pick.

Murray has some questions due to his height and build, but he’s perfect for the system Kingsbury runs. That’s why this time it’s different to see an offensive innovator from the collegiate ranks take his playbook to the NFL. Kingsbury has a guy who can operate it and make defenses pay for not respecting them.

Of course, there will be growing pains. Murray is new to the NFL and the team around him is less than stellar. Their best options could be the guys drafted this season, but that will take time to get them all up to NFL standards. Although, it was a really impressive draft class and the Cardinals should be proud of how they set themselves up for the future.

Having said that, the future likely isn’t now as this team probably won’t be great this season. They could be fun on offense though.
