Reading about what Jim Thorpe did is pretty amazing. He didn't seem to have a good work ethic but he was good at virtually everything. I truly believe that today's athletes are better than those of the past (on average) and have my doubts about how well legends would stack up against them.


If Thorpe grew up today playing against today's athletes he would probably be bigger, faster, stronger than he was at the time. So, probably so.
