Oakland A's No. 9 Pick Kyler Murray Declares for NFL Draft

After putting together one of the best seasons in recent college football history, Heisman Trophy winner and former Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray has declared for the NFL draft.

Despite his potential at the next level, the decision is much more intriguing because Murray was selected by the Oakland A's with the No. 9 pick in last June's MLB draft.

Since the completion of his final college season, rumors have swirled regarding Murray's future endeavors and whether or not he would stick with baseball like he previously stated was his plan or test the waters of the NFL now that his stock had risen.
