Tim Tebow, the former NFL quarterback who is a college football analyst for
ESPN and baseball minor league outfielder, interviewed Murray during the
football season.
"Kyler, I think he's a really good young man, and I think this was a really
tough decision for him," Tebow told reporters Saturday after arriving at the
New York Mets' spring training camp in Port St. Lucie, Fla. "He loves two
sports, and I can really relate to that. And he went with something that he's
been really good at lately and dominating in.
"When we talked about it, and we did talk about that, I just gave him the
advice to follow your heart. Whatever you're passionate about. Don't do it for
your agents or your friends, and sometimes necessarily not even your family."
Earlier this week, Murray said he was "firmly and fully committing my life to
being an NFL quarterback."

--Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown didn't hold back when a
Twitter user asked him about the differences he has with quarterback Ben
Roethlisberger, saying the two lack "mutual respect."
"No conflict just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner
mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches. Players know but
they can't say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It's a dirty
game within a game. #truth"
On Tuesday, Brown used Twitter to announce his time in Pittsburgh was done.
"Thank you SteelerNation for a big 9 years ... time to move on and forward,"
Brown tweeted with the hashtag #NewDemands.

the Miami Herald reported.
