Kyler Murray’s Arizona Cardinals training camp is going well. The Valley of the Sun is all aquiver about the latest quarterback messiah.
Baseball seems a distant memory. A scintillating season with the Sooners. A Heisman Trophy. An Orange Bowl against Alabama. The first pick in the NFL Draft. Much has happened since Murray signed a contract with the Oakland Athletics last summer.
If Murray ever plays major league baseball, he and we will be disappointed. It will have meant his NFL career went off the rails. Not likely.
So Murray isn’t likely to join the exclusive club of athletes who have played baseball and football at the highest level of each; it is believed that only 67 men played in both the NFL (or its forerunner) and major league baseball.
