LeBron Flirting With the NFL

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Anyone else been keeping up with his tweets about playing football in the lockout.

Do it Jerry.

 

[Cowboy Brian]

He'd fail.

 

[Hoofbite]

He'd be a fool to do that.

Slate just wet himself.

If I remember correctly, he was an all-state WR or TE...

Use him in just one scenario... jump ball in the End Zone while in the Red Zone... what NFL DB could stop that?

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I'd be shocked if he did much at the NFL level even if he tried this and I'm saying there is really no chance he'll even try.

 

[BadWolf]

He'd be more suited for hockey. ... they only have 3 periods.

That's what I was thinking. He would be a red zone phenom.

Look at his stats:

height: 6'8"
weight: 245
vertical: 44 inches
40: 4.4


Compare that to Calvin Johnson:
height: 6'5"
weight: 235
vertical: 43
40: 4.33

LeBron would be uncoverable in the NFL. It won't happen, but if it did, I would be all over him if I were Jerry.

Can he play special teams?

Zing :laugh2:

 

[Aikbach]

He might be good for field goal blocks, but that's all i can see that big nogan being good for.

 

[kristie]

Can he play special teams?

i think so.

 

[Muhast]

If you look at 2 of the top 3 TE's in the NFL (Gates/Gonzalez and Witten of course) they were both very good basketball players.

I'd think he would be a TE if he played.

 

[Hoofbite]

I think he'd fail. He has too much of an individualistic attitude to be depended to be in the right place.

Just the way basketball is. If you're damn good at basketball, you can run the court.

He'd play, get roughed up because there'd be so many people flying around him so quickly that he'd probably go back to basketball.
