Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback, Kyler Murray, has teamed up with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, even though some fans thought his gaming was affecting how he played football.

, Murray said, “To the trolls who memed me into a bag, thank you!” referring to the jokes made about him and his gaming hobby. This came after a special contract clause that wanted him to study football more, which was later removed, raised eyebrows because such demands are
for NFL quarterbacks.
Rumors swirled that the clause was due to his love for Call of Duty, sparking fan jokes and comparisons of his performance on gaming weekends to his regular games. The new ad has a cheeky nod to this by saying, “No need to wait for a double XP weekend when you have The Replacer.”
The Replacer, who makes a return in these ads, humorously fills in for people so they can play video games, even taking on roles like the Pope for Black Ops 6. People sometimes wonder if video games really affect athletes’ performances.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on October 25 across multiple platforms like Xbox and PlayStation.
