During a Thursday segment on The Herd, former Cardinals’ GM appeared on the show to discuss the upcoming NFL draft. In the video call, Keim shared an interesting warning from 49ers’ edge rusher Nick Bosa.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!According to Keim, the three-time Pro Bowler told the Cardinals that if they drafted “the little QB,” also known as Kyler Murray, Bosa would “haunt them for the rest of his career.”
Former #Cardinals GM Steve Keim says Nick Bosa warned him and Kliff Kingsbury after his pre-draft visit in 2019.
"I think you guys are probably going to take that little QB — and if you do — I will haunt you for the rest of your career."

For reference, the Cardinals selected Kyler Murray with the #1 overall pick in the 2019 draft, and Bosa was subsequently picked by the 49ers at #2. Murray remains the second shortest quarterback ever to play in the NFL.
Meanwhile, the 49ers’ #2 overall pick in the 2019 draft, Bosa, has performed exceptionally well over the past four seasons. He has already earned a long list of accolades, including the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year award after recording 18.5 sacks in 2022. Although the 25-year-old has sacked Murray once, surprisingly, their head-to-head record is even at 3-3.
In their rookie seasons, they both won rookie of the year awards on their respective sides of the football.
