One day it will all make sense
Eddie LeBaron was 5'7'' in the NFL.
I had never heard of the dude and I see why
It was 55 years ago
Eddie LeBaron was 5'7'' in the NFL.
OP is an moron. Doesn’t root for the best team in his state. Could root for a blue blood and perineal conference champion and school that’s won several national championships. Instead chooses to root for a mediocre football team with zero championships and will most likely go on average 8-4 every year.
Am I doing this right?
Which makes me wonder about his baseball days...minor league Braves team here...and those dudes are huge. I like to watch the bullpen.Isn't Kyler about the same height as Saban?
Yes and ignoring the chances of even making it to the show let alone earning a big second baseball contract is so minute it’s insane is pretty dumb. It’s very likely the last big money he ever makes playing baseball is his signing bonus. If he ends up a top 15 pick it’s very likely he will triple that at least in the NFL.
Does he want to be successful or one of the best at what he does for a living (and possibly get just as much money or more) or just make a lot of money and be okay?
This could actually go the total opposite way though:
Gets his signing bonus and contract. Makes it out of the minors a couple times but it never works out. Still makes a good chunk of $10-20M over 4-5 years.
OR
Gets a chance at becoming a starting QB and succeeds, gets huge contract. QB's are the highest paid position in the NFL by far, that is different than being a WR, even one of the best WR's. He could get $12-18M a year being a decent to serviceable QB, Keenum got $18M a year.
If he can make it to the majors even as a mediocre starting pitcher then he could see a 100 million dollar career. Obviously getting there is a crapshoot.Differences between the two.
A. Deion sucked at baseball. Murray is already a better pro ball player than Deion was.
B. QB’s make a hell of a lot more money than Deion did.
The better analogy would be to Bo Jackson except reverse. Try football and if he isn’t good enough go back to baseball where you can get paid in the minors until you’re damn near 40 in AAA.
interesting info but I would say that Calvin Johnson could have earned double that if he would have stayed in the league and not cut himself short its not like CJ made that over a full career
It all depends on what he thinks he'll be better at. There's more money to be paid for being good in mlb than the NFL.
I am happy to take that bet
NO way he's the #1 overall pick. I don't even think he's the first QB taken. He's a great college QB, but not so sure that means he is going to be a great NFL QB.
I have no clue how tall he actually is — anyone who isn’t 6’3”, 6’4” look like midgets around the giants on the OL and DL.
He could be 5’5” for all I know. I just said whathe was listed at when I looked.
I don’t know the exact height, but I have seen him in person. I would say he is closer to 5’6” than 6’

Would you still call Murray a moron if he played for Oklahoma State?
