While Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray’s breakout second NFL season has Arizona in the playoff hunt, he’s already doing his part to live up to the superstar billing off the field.
Last week, a 12-year-old fan named Hector Nahle reached out to Murray in an Instagram video. Hector, a youth-league quarterback from Monterrey, Mexico, was about to enter surgery for his cancer treatment and wanted to send a message to his favorite NFL quarterback.
Hector let Murray know that the Cardinals quarterback was his inspiration, and he added that he’d love to have the opportunity to meet Murray in person one day.
The power of social media was in full effect here as the video made its way to Murray. And on Thursday, Hector shared a personal response from Murray on Instagram.
Murray said, inviting Hector and his entire family to Dallas once it’s safe for him to do so:
“Hector, what’s up, bro? It’s Kyler here, man. First and foremost, I want to say you’re a warrior, bro. You inspire me just as much as I inspire you. You’re inspiring all of us. I can’t wait to meet you, but in the meantime, I’m sending you a couple things. Hopefully, you’ll like ‘em. We got a signed game jersey, some merch for you, bro. When you’re fully recovered, we’ll fly you out to Dallas. I know you play quarterback. We’ll get some routes in, we’ll throw some balls around, have some fun, get a nice meal. I’ll fly you and your family out, man. Like I said, I can’t wait to meet you. Keep fighting, dude. Keep fighting, bro. We’re all behind you, thinking about you. We love you, bro.”
You absolutely love to see that. And let’s hope the best for Hector as he continues his recovery.
