Brett Hundley seeks to help Kyler Murray’s transition

Barring any sudden changes, Kyler Murray is expected to start to the Arizona Cardinals come 1, but that has not stopped teammate Brett Hundley out of keeping his eyes locked on that number one spot.
Since being drafted in the fifth round in 2015, Hundley has learned from two of the NFL’s best QBs, serving as a backup behind Aaron Rodgers from Green Bay and Russell Wilson at Seattle. And he thinks these experiences can help him become a teacher for the highly touted rookie.

“The knowledge that I have, I’m able to pass it along to (Murray), especially through this journey of his because the NFL isn’t a sprint. It’s a long distance marathon,” Hundley told TMZ at a recent interview. “For me personally, my aim has always been to start, regardless of what position it is in. I don’t play to be second. So I feel that’s my number one goal, to get that starting occupation and at the same time, it’s a competition for a reason”
In his three seasons with the Packers, Hundley appeared in 15 games, including a noteworthy nine-game stretch in place of the wounded Rodgers in 2017. After being traded to the Seahawks past August, he neglected to register any playing time, freeing him up to signal a yearlong deal with the Cards in March.
Aside from his insight regarding the QB situation in Glendale, Hundley made sure to heap more praise Murray’s manner, saying that the 2019 top pick is an”unbelievable guy” who is”really picking up this crime really well.”
With OTAs having come and gone, neither QB will share the area again until training camp begins in late July. Until then, Hundley, a native of Chandler, Ariz., will continue preparing to take advantage of his chance with his hometown team.
“Frankly, being back home for me personally was truly a blessing. Just especially timing and everything, especially with the training situation, moving into my fifth year, I could not ask for a better position,” Hundley said. “For mepersonally, being able to come home this season and only knowing that I am in the right sort of crime that I’ve been waiting for and to place everything together I have heard from my past experiences in Green Bay and Seattle into this offense. I feel like I can actually do some damage.”
