While on a video call with media members this week, Arizona Cardinals left tackle D.J. Humphries said quarterback Kyler Murray named his dog after him. “He really cares about me,” he said.
This apparently was not the truth.
Murray met with the media Wednesday in a video conference and cleared it up.
“No, no, no, no,” Murray said while laughing. “My dog’s name is Swoosh.”
Murray explained that Humphries definitely tried to get the dog named after him.
“He definitely gave me some recommendations, but I didn’t take those at all,” he said. “I don’t know why he came on here and told you all I was naming my dog after him.”
So it appears that Hump Jr., Lil D.J. and Senfo (short for 74, his jersey number) were just things Humphries wanted Murray to use.
Murray might care a lot about Humphries, but not that much.
