Profile

Summary: Murray might be the most complex and talked about player in the entire draft class. He showed his talents on the field in 2018 with a Heisman campaign and plenty of playmaking ability, but his one season of starting experience (plus his short stature) could give some teams pause. However, with the ability to be an explosive dual-threat quarterback who can elevate an offense, Murray is looked at as a first-round pick.

Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote that Murray is "like a complex burgundy with notes of Baker Mayfield, Johnny Manziel and Russell Wilson in his play, but like any quarterback, he'll need to prove he can recognize disguised coverages and work on-time from the pocket to go from flash talent to playoff winner."

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Bucky Brooks has Murray ranked as **the No. 2 quarterback** in the 2019 draft. Draft analyst Dane Brugler, who writes for The Athletic, has Murray ranked Murray No. 2 in his **recent list** of the top 20 quarterbacks. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com has Murray as the 11th overall player on his **updated Top 50** prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft, up two spots from his initial ranking.

Two-sport star: The Oakland A's selected Murray as the ninth overall pick in the first round of this past June's draft. But Murray, an outfielder who hit .296 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs in 51 games with the Sooners in 2018, announced in February that he would commit himself full-time to football over baseball.
