Murray Sharp in Vikings Minicamp Debut Despite Two Interceptions and Limited Reps

Kyler Murray threw consecutive interceptions during 7-on-7 drills on Tuesday at the Minnesota Vikings' mandatory minicamp in Eagan, Minnesota. ESPN reported that Murray was sharp for much of the session but threw the two picks while adjusting to new teammates and an offensive system. Murray took the first snaps of team drills on Tuesday.

J. McCarthy took about an equal number of snaps with the starters. Murray said the most difficult part of the transition to Minnesota from Arizona has been splitting reps with McCarthy and the rest of the Vikings quarterbacks.

"I was [in Arizona] for seven years," Murray said. "I know I had two different offensive systems [there], but at the same time, you're getting all those reps. It's me already being behind, not getting the amount of reps that you would typically want a guy to get learning an offense.

One interception resulted from a miscommunication with tight end Gavin Bartholomew, who broke to the outside just as Murray threw a pass toward the middle of the field. Safety Theo Jackson intercepted the pass. The second interception was a pass down the middle that sailed over the hands of receiver Jauan Jennings and was caught by cornerback Byron Murphy Jr.

Murray said he is not really too worried about the competition side of things. He said he has worked to give himself grace when mistakes occur and has embraced the part of being uncomfortable. "I've kind of just went full head of team and embraced the part of being uncomfortable," Murray said.

"I haven't been in this position much, but now being in it, why not make the most of it?
