Kyler Murray's work ethic came under fire after the Cardinals placed in his five-year, $230.5 million contract.The stipulation which required Murray to log four hours of independent film work every week during the regular season over the duration of his contract was later removed from the deal amid backlash from fans and players alike.Even still, questions persisted about Murray's work ethic, and that led former Arizona general manager Steve Keim to comment on it.MORE: Keim recently appeared on the "Green Light with Chris Long" Chris Carson Jersey podcast to discu s his time with the Cardinals. Naturally, Murray was part of that conversation, as Keim was the one who made him the No. 1 selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.Specifically, Keim was asked about Muray's work ethic and maturity, i sues that were brought up in recent comments by veteran offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum.Like Beachum, Keim wasn't overly critical of the 25-year-old quarterback. He did, however, give an honest a se sment of what Murray needs to do to improve long-term.He still needs to grow. Beachums comments are not slanted toward his character, Keim said, as transcribed by . Hes not a bad guy. Hes a good kid, has a good smile, has a nice way about him. I think its like anything, Tre Flowers Jersey guys have to continue to learn what its going to take to be great. Does he know what Tom Brady and Peyton Manning knows of what it takes to be great? No.Does he work? He does work. I think its just that side of the game, the film study, the attention to detail part that he can continue to improve upon. And I think he will. Kylers a proud Nick Vannett Jersey guy, man. He doesnt want to lose and he doesnt want to let people down.Murray should have extra time to work on the details in his game as he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered at the end of the 2022 NFL season in a game against the Patriots.MORE: Rehabbing that injury will be Murray's first priority, but he can improve his field-reading skills and command of theDrew Petzing offense while he focuses on getting healthy. That would go a long way toward him finding more succe s after what was statistically his worst NFL season in 2022 (his 87.2 pa ser rating was a career Rashaad Penny Jersey low).Keim remains steadfast in his belief that Murray will be able to figure things out as he continues in his NFL career. However, he also knows that the former No. 1 pick needs to clean up some of the inconsistencies that have plagued him at the NFL level.You got to think hes headed in the right direction, Keim said. I just thought he kept getting better and better and better. Theres just some times of inconsistency with him.Obviously, the height hurts him at times, seeing over the line and proce sing and seeing the field. But at the same time, hes just a tremendous talent. The stuff he does, you see in practice and games, its off the charts."MORE: Indeed, Murray has made some splash plays at the NFL level, with the "Hail Murray" being the Ethan Pocic Jersey biggest standout among the crowd. So, he has the talent needed to be a big-time playmaker at the NFL level.Now, he just needs to focus on working hard to even out his game to get to the next level. That won't prove easy as he comes off a torn ACL, but he can at least take the next step toward becoming a winner with his off-the-field preparation.
