NASHVILLE, April 25 (UPI) -- Dark clouds covered huge crowds in the streets of Nashville Thursday as the 2019 NFL Draft took place.
Oklahoma's Kyler Murray fulfilled a prophecy from his former college coach, Kliff Kingsbury, by being selected with the No. 1 overall pick. Kingsbury said in 2018 that he would select Murray with the top pick if he ever had the opportunity. He was hired this off-season to coach the Arizona Cardinals. His first order of business was drafting the Heisman Trophy winner.
Baker Mayfield was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, making it back-to-back years that an Oklahoma quarterback has gone No. 1 overall.
"I knew they were very fond of me," Murray said. "But I'm the type of guy where I really didn't believe anything until I got that phone call."
