LOS ANGELES: The Arizona Cardinals made reigning Heisman Trophy winner Kyler Murray the number one selection in the 2019 National Football League entry draft on Friday.
Murray became the first player in history to be a first-round pick in both the Major League Baseball and NFL drafts, after the Oakland Athletics picked him ninth overall in 2018.
He agreed to pay back his $4.7 million signing bonus to the A’s when announcing in February that he would be committed to football full-time moving forward.
“It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid,” said Murray of being drafted to the NFL. “To everyone in my corner that has pushed me, I can’t thank them enough. – AFP
