The Athletic has an article today entitled, "What Kyler Murray, Marquise Brown’s Oklahoma days say about their Cardinals ceiling". In discussing their 2018 season together it notes, "Of Brown’s 10 touchdowns that season, six went for more than 50 yards. His 11 receptions of 40-plus yards tied for the nation’s lead." They they include this chart of the top 10 FBS players in 2018 with the most 40-yard catches:

PlayerSchool40-yard Catches
Marquise BrownOklahoma11
Andy IsabellaUMass11
Hakeem ButlerIowa State10
Jerry JeudyAlabama10
Justyn RossClemson9
John UrsuaHawaii9
Tylan WallaceOkla State8
Antoine WesleyTexas Tech8
Rondale MoorePurdue7
Damion WillisTroy7

No fewer than 5 of the top 10 are current Cardinals or Cards' draftees!

If KK can be patient and establish the run game, especially Connor - a lot more a lot more effective booms will be landed! earn rpo and play action - AJ Green had an incredible adage average last year.
