A potential NFL Combine 1/1?

The NFL Combine happened this  week and we now know that former Oakland Athletic draft pick, Kyler Murray stands in at FIVE feet TEN and one eighth inches.

He also weighed in at 207 pounds.

A bit undersized for the modern quarterback standards.

By baseball standards he was compared to Andrew McCutchen before being drafted last year.  This MLB link will bring you to an article written June 1st, 2018 which compares Murray's skillset to McCutchen.

NBC Sports confirmed that he had traits of McCutchen and Jackie Bradley Jr.

Just under a year later and analysts surrounding baseball are still comparing him to Andrew McCutchen.  Tim Kurkjian said as recent as January on ESPN that he reminds him of McCutchen with the tools he has to work with.

Did you know that Cutch was actually hoping to play football in college?  His father convinced him to stick to baseball though knowing the wears and tear that the gridiron puts on the body.  Lorenzo McCutchen was a star running back at Carson-Newman University, but changed his NFL dreams to return to Florida and be with Andrew.

Cutch was also a high school football star with the dreams of carrying on a multisport career.  This 2018 Archives Buyback autograph numbered 1/1 of a 2016 Bowman card discusses how if Cutch didn't get drafted by the Pirates he would have played football in college.


Tim Kurkjian is a personality often imitated so it comes as no surprise that many other people share his opinion of Murray resembling Cutch.

But what if I told you that Cutch resembles Kurkjian?

Watch this video to see Cutch impersonate Kurk...

Oh and in case you didn't know, Cutch is a football fan.  Here are some pics of Cutch at Steelers games.

    Nice card! I didn't know he was a possible two-sport star.

    That's a pretty good Kurkjian impression considering she put him on the spot. I would have liked to hear Tim's reaction to it.

    Also, is that Channing Tatum in the second pic? I was expecting Cutch to pose with players (and I'm still half asleep) so I thought Not sure if Tatum..Or backup linebacker/free safety

    I bet he would have been a good college football player.

    My beloved Athletics sure swung for the fences on Murray... and was left standing in the batter's box after his decision. Wish him the best though.
