NFL Offensive Lineman Kelvin Beachum didn’t hold back about Kyler Murray. Beachum said, ” Kyler Murray needs to be a man and grow up.” Beachum has been Kyler Murray’s teammate since 2020.

Arizona removed the clause after the drama surrounding the clause surfaced.
A Lesson To Learn
Kyler Murray is the face of the Cardinals franchise. Murray also plays a position that requires leadership and maturity. Murray is a young quarterback that has to learn how to grow up and be the leader the Cardinals need. There have been multiple reports about Murray not being invested in the team.
