INDIANAPOLIS \u2014 You have Saquon Barkley in the backfield, Odell Beckham Jr. split wide, Sterling Shepard in the slot, Evan Engram lined up on the other side at tight end.<\/p>\n
And behind center, at quarterback, diminutive and dynamic Kyler Murray.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think me in that system, with those guys, can be very dangerous,\u2019\u2019 Murray said Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine. \u201cAt the same time, I don\u2019t get to choose where I go. If that was the case, I would love to be in that situation. Love to be in New York. At the end of the day, I don\u2019t pick myself.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
No, Murray does not pick himself. General manager Dave Gettleman gets final say on whom the Giants select with the No. 6 pick in the draft. Given Eli Manning\u2019s age (38) and recent performance level, it certainly could be a quarterback taken up that high. Dwayne Haskins of Ohio State <\/a>fits the physical profile of what the Giants are looking for. For it to be Murray, the Giants will have to discard decades of data and evaluations and embrace new-age thinking that a quarterback standing 5-foot-10\u00b9\/\u2088 can make it big in the league.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never been the biggest guy on the field, I\u2019m always the smallest guy on the field,\u2019\u2019 Murray said. \u201cI\u2019ve said it multiple times: I feel I\u2019m the most impactful guy on the field and the best player on the field at all time. That\u2019s just the confidence I have in myself and my teammates have in me. I\u2019ve always had to play at this height. Everybody\u2019s trying to make it out to be something, but at the same time, I just go out there and play the game I love.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n Much was made of measurement day on Thursday, when Murray edged past the 5-foot-10 barrier <\/a>and weighted in at 207 pounds \u2014 12 pounds heavier than his playing weight at Oklahoma last season. Getting that one-eighth of an inch, Murray said, \u201cis not a big difference. I think we can put that to rest now. That\u2019s fun.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n He sounded bemused by the obsession with how tall and heavy he turned out to be.<\/p>\n \u201cI showed up, they told me to put my hand down, they told me to stand here, step on the scale, and that\u2019s what I did,\u2019\u2019 Murray said. \u201cAnd everybody made a big deal about it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n Murray was a first-round pick of the Oakland A\u2019s and guaranteed $4.6 million to play baseball. He said NFL teams have not pressed him too strenuously about his commitment to football, which he said is iron-clad, calling it \u201ca final decision\u2019\u2019 and insisting, \u201cThere\u2019s no turning back.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
