WOOOO! The 12s are absolutely buzzing this week because our Seahawks snatched a huge W against the New England Patriots, 13-10! What a start to the season for the Emerald City! But hold up, there’s another storyline heating up in the NFL, and it’s all about Kyler Murray getting ready for his big debut with the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday.
Murray’s Long-Awaited Comeback
Murray, the first pick from the 2019 draft, is looking for a fresh start with the team he rooted for growing up. And man, he sounds ready! “I’m excited,” Murray told reporters Thursday. “Out of my, I don’t know how many years I played football, this has got to be right up there for the most anticipated.” He hasn’t seen game action since October, so that’s a long time away from the field. Getting back on that turf must feel incredible.
The ‘Emotional’ C on His Chest
Think he’ll be feeling nerves? Murray says he’s just got “anxious butterflies.” He knows if he didn’t have those, maybe he shouldn’t be playing anymore. Even more, he’s been named a captain in his very first season with the Vikes. “It means the world, actually,” he said, explaining how “emotional” it felt for a new guy to have the team’s faith and trust. He’s taking “great pride and honor” to wear that ‘C’ on his chest.
This Sunday, the Vikings kick off with a big game right out of the gates, and it’s clear Murray is fired up for the moment. The entire league will be watching to see how his fresh start plays out.
