The Oakland Athletics are nervous. When they selected Kyler Murray with the ninth overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, the Athletics knew Murray was a good football player, but they didn't know Murray would be this good of a football player.
Murray has taken the college football world by storm this year, leading the Oklahoma Sooners to an 11-1 record ahead of this weekend's Big 12 Championship Game against Texas. On top of the team's success, Murray has had a great deal of individual success as well.
In a year where he is one of the Heisman Trophy front-runners, Murray has put up historic numbers, accumulating 3,674 passing yards and 37 touchdowns while throwing just seven interceptions.
