| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:08.4 | Welcome to NFL Daily, where I'm ready to be hurt by the Kyler Murray, Minnesota Vikings. |
| 0:14.6 | I'm Greg Rosenthal back in my garage for the first time since Sunday night when I talked to Nick Shook, |
| 0:22.4 | and we got a whole new league since then, and we got good timing like we've had all week |
| 0:28.2 | long by getting Kyler Murray to the Vikings into the show. Nick Shook, Kyler decided to |
| 0:36.2 | not consider a backup choice or, you know, playing for the Rams or some |

The semantics of it all. Why do we do that? Well, because other teams probably were interested. Jordan mentioned the Rams as a possibility, and then I saw that out there in some other spots. And look, you don't know what it's like, Shook. Neither do I really. |
| 1:44.8 | Although I have interviewed, I think. |
| 1:46.7 | To be looking up into the eyes of Kevin O'Connell. |
| 1:50.2 | And Kyler Murray definitely is that. |
