'Prime Time' Sanders: Murray should choose baseball

"If I'm in his shoes, I'm picking up that baseball bat and I'm not looking
back," Sanders told ESPN earlier this week.

Known as "Prime Time" during his unique athletic career, Sanders was a
six-time All-Pro cornerback and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He also played parts of nine major league seasons with four teams and is the
only athlete to compete in both a World Series and a Super Bowl.

Murray, the 2018 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback from Oklahoma, is leaving
school early to enter the 2019 NFL Draft.

But he previously received a $4.66 million bonus after being drafted with the
ninth overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics as a
shortstop and second baseman.

"Sometimes, I still have regret that I didn't give more," said
Sanders, now an analyst with NFL Network. "But you know, I got a gold jacket
in the closet. I'm straight. But I wish I would have given more.

"But for Kyler, that's tough at his position, and I don't think he realizes
the ridicule you go through once you declare and say, 'I'm going to be a
football player.' Now people start talking about your height, your size, what
you can't do. He hasn't dealt with that yet."

Whatever Murray decides, Sanders said he is excited to see what he can do.

"I think he can do whatever he wants to do," Sanders said. "He's that type of
athlete."
