It was just a few years ago when it was not known whether Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Kyler Murray, then playing collegiately for Oklahoma, would play professional baseball or in the NFL.
He had already been drafted in the first round of Major League Baseball by the Oakland Athletics. He was paid a $4.9 million signing bonus.
He ultimately chose to enter the NFL draft and was selected first overall. Now, as training camp begins for the Cardinals, he has agreed to a huge contract extension worth $230 million over five years, keeping him under contract through 2028.
