Kyler Murray And Valentina Shevchenko: Cardinals QB Dating UFC Boxer Who Once Linked With Her Coach?

Kyler Murray is one of those exciting players in the NFL who is considered an absolute nightmare for his opponents if he's on his best day. The Arizona Cardinals quarterback (QB) is renowned for his exceptional speed, extend notes, avoid sacks, and impressive agility to break tackles. In the Cardinals' history, Murray holds the record for the best career completion percentage and the highest passer rating. Despite his inconsistent performances, he is still a pivotal player for the Cardinals.

Kyler Murray's 2025 NFL Season and pit bull controversy: From Cardinals' dual-threat Star QB to Michael Vick's jersey backlash

Back in 2021, against all odds, Kyler Murray led the team to its first playoff appearance since 2015. Fast forward to 2025, and the Cardinals QB has delivered above-average performances on the field. With 542 passing yards and four touchdowns in three games, Murray is proving why he continues to rank among the NFL's top dual-threat quarterbacks. The QB continues to build on his career totals, which now exceed 19,000 passing yards and 119 total touchdowns in the NFL. We hope he continues to make his presence felt in this season and takes the Cardinals to the NFL playoffs.

Apart from being the Arizona Cardinals quarterback, Kyler Murray often makes headlines for rumours and controversies related to his personal life. For instance, in September 2025, Murray posted a picture on Instagram wearing a Michael Vick Virginia Tech throwback jersey with his pit bull named Trunks.

The NFL star immediately received backlash due to Michael Vick's 2007 conviction for operating a dogfighting ring, which led to his federal prison sentence. After several animal rights groups raised eyebrows over Murray wearing Michael's jersey and posing with his pit bull, the Cardinals QB apologised to people. In his apology on social media, he wrote:

"In no way, shape or form do I condone animal cruelty or dogfighting or whatever it is. For me personally, y'all saw me wear the Michael Vick jersey, a player I admired very much growing up. … My dogs, Trunks and Swoosh, they both get treated like kings. In no way, shape or form am I condoning that. I saw how it affected people and decided to take it down."
