Kyler Murray: Connection with Marvin Harrison Jr. "not where the team needs it to be"

The Cardinals can't make the playoffs, but quarterback Kyler Murray said at a Tuesday press conference that there won't be "any foot off the gas" in the final two weeks of the season.

One of the things that Murray will be focused on as they play out the string is his connection with Marvin Harrison Jr. Harrison was the first receiver picked in this year's draft and he was seen as a can't miss prospect, but his production — 51 catches for 726 yards and seven touchdowns — has not been as high as fellow rookies Malik Nabers, Brock Bowers, Brian Thomas or Ladd McConkey.

Murray said Tuesday that the two players have "no choice" but to work on their connection "in order for our offense to be what we want it to be.”

"We've got to get better, we've got to get better," Murray said. "It's not where he wants it to be, it's not where I want it to be. It's not where the team needs it to be. Again, I haven't lost any confidence. I'm excited for these next two weeks."

The work to maximize Harrison's contributions will continue into the offseason and it's one of several areas where the Cardinals will look to improve before the 2025 season gets underway.
