New Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has responded to a claim made by Terry Bradshaw, Payton’s colleague with Fox, about Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.
“I like Kyler Murray,” Payton insisted during an appearance on the FanDuel TV “Up and Adams” program, as shared by The Spun’s Andrew Gould and Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. “My son is his biggest fan.”
Payton added that Murray is “extremely talented.”
Per Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports, Bradshaw generated headlines when he told Colorado radio station Altitude Sports 92.5 this week that Payton “didn’t wanna work with” Murray and had “no choice” but to coach Denver signal-caller Russell Wilson. It was reported in January that Payton is a Murray “fan,” but Pro Football Network draft analyst Tony Pauline said last week that coaching candidates weren’t thrilled about potentially being “tied to” the 25-year-old and the five-year contract extension he signed last summer.
