Cannon could/would make NFL teams on Offense at 2 or more positions, Defense at any secondary position, and special teams.
He was a personal project of Alvin Roy (BR) then the strength coach of the USA track and field and weightlifting teams. Roy was convinced if Cannon bulked up he would be the strongest man in the world or if he slimmed down the fastest man in the world.
Johnny Lynch (RIP) dean of SEC refs for 20 years thought he had no equal on the football field.

The next person who says he didn't play against black players needs to be throat-punched.
He DID play against black players and was very successful.
How would he be today against today's players- who the hell knows- but I would assume his training regimen would allow him to keep up with the bigger/stronger/faster players of today.
These debates are silly, because he only really needs to be judged by how he did when he played against the competition of his time.
I'm sure theres a lot of scientists smarter now that Einstein was. Do we say "Einstein is over-rated because he would not be up to snuff with today's scientific geniuses"?
