In a twist, Kyler Murray could make more money than Lincoln Riley this year, while both of them try to lead Oklahoma to a Big 12 football championship.
That's because Murray -- the Sooners' expected QB -- was picked ninth overall by the Oakland A's on Monday night, a draft slot that has an assigned value of $4.7 million.
Murray told reporters he plans to play football in 2018.
I made Murray confirm that he said, I will be playing football this year. Kyler's response? "Confirmed." Said he's already discussed with the A's
