<h3>Pre-draft</h3>
In January 2019, Murray announced that he would forgo his senior year and enter the <a href="/facts/2019_NFL_draft/rs3L7WEM">2019 NFL draft</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> On February 11, he announced his decision to focus on his football career, forgoing baseball.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a>
Some believed that Murray's pursuit of a football career at the expense of a potential one in baseball was a mistake because of his limited stature relative to a typical NFL quarterback.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a> At the <a href="/facts/NFL_Scouting_Combine/MxzbatCH">NFL Combine</a>, Murray was not expected to match his listed height of 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> because colleges often exaggerate measurements to make players more formidable to opposing teams. Murray's final measurements were 5 ft 10+1⁄8 in (1.78 m) and 207 lb (94 kg),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> similar to that of then-<a href="/facts/Seattle_Seahawks/HMWSRz3U">Seattle Seahawks</a> starting quarterback <a href="/facts/Russell_Wilson/Kd6zSX4W">Russell Wilson</a>.
