NFL star Kyler Murray interviewed via CBS Sports

NFL quarterback Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals went viral for an unlikely reason after photos surfaced of his practice outfit.

“Murray was seen wearing what appeared to be a sports bra while at training camp,” Fox News reported. “The photo went viral across X, the company formerly known as Twitter.”

Social media erupted with thousands of responses. “Why is Kyler Murray wearing a sports bra?” one person asked.

The clothing is reported to be a vest from Catapult Sports. Murray apparently isn’t the only athlete who wears one.

“They are wearing a GPS vest that just happens to look like a sports bra. The vest is designed to hold a pod between the shoulder blades that contains a 10Hz GPS, an accelerometer and a magnetometer,” the company says.

“These GPS devices are able to capture over 1250 data points per second to measure how much and how hard the players are working, and players and coaches are able to analyze data such as total distance, top speed, number of sprints, sprint distance, power, load, intensity, and more.”

Murray was drafted by the Cardinals first overall in the 2019 NFL Draft. He is a dual-threat quarterback who is known for his mobility and athleticism.

Murray had a successful rookie season in 2019, leading the Cardinals to a 5-10-1 record. He was named the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. In 2020, Murray led the Cardinals to a 8-8 record. He was named to his first Pro Bowl.

In 2021, Murray led the Cardinals to a 11-6 record and their first playoff appearance since 2015. He was also named to his second Pro Bowl.

Murray has the potential to be one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL as he continues to develop.
