The A's gave Murray a $4.66 million signing bonus with the understanding that he would play his junior season at Oklahoma and then focus on his baseball career. But that was before Murray took college football by storm.
Now, ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that one NFL general manager told him Murray could be a first-round pick in April's NFL Draft.
The NFL Network's Ian Rapoport believes Murray could be a second or third-round pick.
Either way, Murray is now on the radar of NFL teams and a team may use a draft pick on him.
But Murray's agent, Scott Boras, told Rapoport that Murray will honor his committment to the A's.

"Kyler Murray is a baseball player, (and) is going to show up for spring training in February for the Oakland A's," Boras said.
Boras and Theismann's comments have to be music to the A's ears. They likely don't want Murray anywhere near an NFL field.
