We&#8217;ve seen greats like Kobe Bryant and Russell Wilson do it well into their careers, but Kyler Murray has written his way into history right at the start of his game.</div>

But after winning the Heisman Trophy, he decided to pursue a career in the NFL instead.</div>

But, in opting to play football, Kyler forfeited a $4.66 million singing bonus the MLB had offered him.</div>

Even in all of this success, he still could not get a congratulations from the nation&#8217;s president. The no. 2 pick got one instead.</div>

Big Talent!&#8221;</div>

Despite the lack of support from the president, Kyler still expresses excitement for his new journey.</div>
