Former NFL Man Tips Arizona Cardinals Starlet Kyler Murray for Future MLB Career
Follow Us
Arizona Cardinals moved quickly to bring in Oklahoma Sooners star Kyler Murray as the first-pick at the 2019 NFL draft. The former Heisman Trophy winner was the first of the 3 quarterbacks to be drafted in the first round. The other two being Daniel Jones (New York Giants) and Dwayne Haskins (Washington Football Team).
It’s been another stellar season for the second-year quarterback with the Cardinals. The promising youngster has led his team to a 6-3 record this season. In doing so, the Cardinals find themselves at the top of the NFC West Division table above Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks.
But things could have been entirely different had Murray opted to pursue a different career path in the MLB.

However, fortunately for Arizona Cardinals, Murray opted to stick with the former. But former NFL cornerback, Domonique Foxworth, believes that Murray could still play baseball in the near future.

“Or do you think the Cardinals gonna be like, Nah, I first real homegrown franchise quarterback that we ever had? No, we’re not gonna let you do what you want to do.
“I’m not saying that he’s gonna succeed at it. I’m saying that nobody can stop them. Who’s gonna stop more than cars gonna put their foot down and say no, we don’t want a franchise quarterback who wants to play baseball?
