Kyler Murray is making the rounds on Radio Row during Super Bowl week, informing members of the NFL media that he'll be making a decision on whether to pursue a career in professional football or baseball in the near future.

"Soon. Very soon," Murray said to NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano on Thursday, per NFL.com's Nick Shook.

Murray was the ninth overall pick by the Oakland Athletics' in the 2018 MLB Draft. However, he was allowed to continue his collegiate football career and wound up winning the Heisman Trophy in December as the quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners.

If it were up to Murray, he wouldn't limit himself to one sport.

"I wish I could play both," Murray said to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "I know it's highly, highly, highly unlikely, but it's not an easy decision."

Murray has declared for the 2019 NFL Draft and is projected to go as early as the first round.
