White Sox outfielder Adam Engel can relate to Kyler Murray’s decision to play football

Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray is giving the stiff-arm to baseball. He tweeted Monday that his goal is to become an NFL quarterback because football is “my love and my passion.”

White Sox center fielder Adam Engel salutes that decision, saying: “If I had a chance to talk to Kyler, I’d say: Follow your passion, follow your heart. It sounds like that is what he is doing. Do whatever you love to do. That way you will enjoy it for whatever your career allows.”

Engel had his own football/baseball dilemma while playing quarterback at Ohio’s Loveland High School.
