Potential quarterback Kyler Murray sends the kind of mixed signals that will make scouts take nothing, he said.

A week after stating, "I look forward to the opportunity to continue to prove to NFL decision makers that I am the QB of the franchise in this rough draft," said Murray, who did not know how to do it. He was going to embark on the Scouting Combine. And although I still support the decision of any player not to participate in one or more of the events of the Olympic Games underwear (especially since many believe that children have the duty not to defend their interests, but to entertain us), it is difficult to reconcile the outrageous proclamations of his declaration of "total commitment to football" with his sudden reluctance to launch in Indianapolis.

The incongruity highlights the challenge he will face when he will attempt to convince the scouts that he is really engaged in football and that he does not roll the dice to see his teammates. He will be selected high enough and / or by the right team, with the baseball still in his back pocket as protection against a situation he does not like. And Murray could well explain himself in a timely manner.

But it will not be easy, because no team will want to risk giving up Murray, which means that each team will test it to know if it means what it says or what it says what teams want hear.
