The Chicago White Sox actually almost drafted a player that is expected to be selected in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Cole Kmet, a tight end from Notre Dame, almost started his career in 2017, as a baseball player with the Chicago White Sox.
As detailed by Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago, the organization almost selected the pitcher, who was attending St. Viator High School at the time, in the fifth round of the 2017 MLB Draft.
According to the Kmet, the reasons he declined the offer to start his baseball career is that “a dream of [his] was to play college football at Notre Dame” and that he “wasn’t ready to give up on” being a two-sport athlete.
