Oklahoma Sooners star quarterback Kyler Murray has officially decided to focus on football going forward, leaving almost $5 million on the table from the Oakland Athletics who drafted him 9th overall in the 2018 MLB Draft.
Murray is in line to be the first ever athlete selected in the first round of the MLB and NFL Draft.
Not even Denver Broncos general manager John Elway — the first overall pick in the 1983 NFL Draft and 52nd overall (second round) pick of the 1981 MLB Draft — can claim that.
Murray’s unbelievable season in 2018 at Oklahoma was his first as a full-time starter for them.
