Kyler Murray Favored To Be First-Round Pick In 2019 NFL Draft, Choose Football Over Baseball
January 10, 2019
Few college athletes, if any, had a better 2018 than Kyler Murray. The 21-year-old was selected ninth overall in the 2018 MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics and given a $4.66 million signing bonus. A few months later, he led Oklahoma to the College Football Playoffs as the Sooners’ starting quarterback and won the Heisman Trophy award.
Now that the calendar has turned to 2019, Murray has a major decision to make. Will he stick with baseball or choose professional football after performing like the top player in the country.
