Kyler knows? Murray says he could play football, baseball

Field Level Media

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray still has aspirations to play baseball.

Murray, in fact, would like to play professional football and baseball at the same time — just now right now.

“I think I could,” the 22-year-old Murray told the Arizona Republic of being a two-sport star. “Athletically, I think, yeah, I could do it. I’ve been playing both my whole life. I would love to add that to the resume.”

Murray’s current resume likely would support his claim.

The former Heisman Trophy recipient became the first person in history to be selected in the first round of both the NFL and MLB drafts when the Cardinals chose him with the top overall pick in 2019.
