The first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray crushes the nothing that specializing in one sport will make your child an elite athlete.

Murray won the 2018 Heisman Trophy playing quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners.

A shortstop and second baseman for the Oklahoma baseball team, Murray was the first player to ever be selected for both the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game and the under Armour All-America Football Game.

Murray was selected ninth overall by the Oakland Athletics in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft. He's the first athlete ever to be selected in the first round of both the NFL and MLB drafts.
