The long list of Oklahoma Sooners football players at the next level was busy again this weekend in week two of the 2024 NFL season. OU has players on nearly every team across the league, guys who refined their skills in Norman and were good enough to make it to the next level.
This week, three former Sooners rose to the top, turning in excellent performances to help their teams improve their records. Each was instrumental in their squads’ victories to open up the young season.
1. Kyler Murray, QB – Arizona
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray had one of the best performances by any QB in the league in week two. With the Cardinals needing a win at home to avoid falling to 0-2, Murray delivered with a perfect passer rating, 256 passing yards on 17-for-21 passing and three touchdowns. He also added 59 rushing yards on five carries.
Arizona took down the division-rival Los Angeles Rams by a score of 41-10 and Murray was electrifying, showing off his speed and elusiveness in the pocket and the ability to throw on the run that made him so dangerous as the 2018 Heisman Trophy winner at Oklahoma.

2. Wanya Morris, OL – Kansas City
As a former Tennessee transfer to Oklahoma, it’s only right that Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Wanya Morris earns recognition this week. Morris serves as a backup offensive tackle for Kansas City, but that didn’t stop him from scoring his first-ever NFL touchdown on a reception during the Chiefs’ 26-25 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Morris was the 92nd overall pick in the 3rd round of the 2023 NFL draft by the Chiefs, and he’s now in his second season in Kansas City, having already won a Super Bowl ring as a rookie. He spent two years in Norman in 2021 and 2022.
