Though Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray‘s primary mission was handing the New York Jets a loss in Week 10, he wanted to get a taste of the city as a tourist the following week.
After a busy weekend that included attending UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden, Murray stuck around for more of the New York City experience on his bye week. On Monday, the Cardinals quarterback posted a video on TikTok trying out a slice from Joe’s Pizza.
Murray tried the pizza alongside his social media manager, Emma Tani, and another customer who didn’t seem to recognize the star quarterback.
Tani asked Murray what he thought of the pizza. He replied “Solid,” before asking the patron who shared the same standing table as him for their opinion.
“What you think, bro?” Murray asked his fellow customer.
The stranger replied to Murray, saying the pizza wasn’t bad, resulting in Murray asking which slices they ordered.
Murray took things further in getting to know the pizza-goer through a friendly exchange.
“What’s your name, bro?” Murray asked.
“My name is Surya. What’s your name?” the customer replied.
Murray replied with his first name before asking how Surya’s name was spelled and finding out Surya was from Switzerland.
Murray’s opinion on the pizza seemed to match Surya’s, expressing that the slice was a bit too saucy and that “the bread ain’t breadin’.”
He convinced Surya that he and his entourage were pizza connoisseurs, leading the customer to question their interests in pizza.
“So you guys go around testing different pizzas or just this one?” Surya asked.
Murray had the proper tourist’s response: “Nah, just enjoying New York.”
Murray and Arizona will take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12.
