How’s it going, everyone?
On Monday, Kyler Murray announced he has chosen to play football professionally over baseball, and on Tuesday the public learned which agent the Heisman Trophy winner has chosen to represent him going forward. He’s Erik Burkhardt of Select Sports Group.
A couple things here: you may recall Scott Boras being Murray’s previous agent when it looked like he would pursue a career in the MLB, but now that K1 is sticking with football, he, of course, needed to find a football agent. Boras only represents baseball clients, hence the hiring of Burkhardt.
