Kyler Murray to wear familiar No. 1 for Minnesota Vikings

Kyler Murray is on a new team but will not have a new number in 2026.

Kyler Murray is trading the Arizona desert for the Minnesota tundra, but one thing won't change: his iconic No. 1 jersey. The former Cardinals quarterback, who donned the number from 2019 through 2025, will keep it on his new Vikings uniform in 2026, as confirmed by the team's official roster.

Murray won't need to negotiate for the digits, either. Last season, wide receiver Jailen Nailor wore No. 1 for Minnesota, but he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders this offseason, leaving the number up for grabs. It's a seamless transition for Murray, who becomes just the second Vikings quarterback to sport No. 1—following Hall of Famer Warren Moon, who wore it from 1994 to 1996.

While the Cardinals released Murray in March, his journey remains a hot topic for NFL fans. Whether you're tracking his fresh start in purple or just love the classic look of No. 1, this move adds another layer of intrigue to Minnesota's evolving roster. Stay tuned for more updates as Murray settles into his new home.
