2019 NFL Draft: Kyler Murray, Antonio Brown work out together in Texas

Share

Two of 2019's most-talked-about football players are working out under one roof. 

Yes, will-he-or-won't-he all-stars Antonio Brown and Kyler Murray put in some offseason work together this weekend. The embattled Pittsburgh Steelers receiver posted a video of him catching a pass from the Heisman Trophy winner (and Oakland A's prospect ... for now). 

The two worked out at Allen High School in Allen, Texas, which is Murray's alma mater. Not to be confused with Murray's college alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, but you'd be forgiven after seeing the indoor field where the pair worked out. 

Also in attendance -- at least based on Brown's tweet -- was cousin Marquise Brown. Marquise played with Murray at Oklahoma, and was his favorite target. The younger Brown caught 75 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns, and is entering the 2019 NFL Draft alongside Murray.

Recent mock drafts have the junior receiver going in the mid- to late first round, and he offers plenty of intrigue himself for teams in need of a receiver. Two of those teams reside in the Bay Area, but the eyes of fans here surely are on the other guys in Allen.

A's fans probably are wondering why Murray isn't taking swings off a tee with spring training just over three weeks away, while 49ers fans (and Jon Gruden, reportedly) are salivating about that kind of speed running along the sideline. Of course, it's also possible neither Murray nor Brown will ply their trade in the Bay in 2019.

Marquise Brown wouldn't be a bad consolation prize, though.
