GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Kyler Murray’s football career was nearly flawless for the first 25 years of his life: First, he was a Texas high school phenom, then a Heisman Trophy winner, then the No. 1 overall pick for the Arizona Cardinals, then a two-time Pro Bowl selection.In all those situations, Murray was being compared to other football players.These days, the competition is with himself.“This is different,” Murray said. “This is you-on-you.
