Look at D'sean Jackson. Look at Chris Johnson..


I didnt say that.....but yeah I agree. He may not have had the agility or foot speed that stands out on the gridiron like it does on the court.

I'm from his hometown 757, and yes he was that damn good at football. Better than Curry, The Vicks, Aaron Brooks, and he was the first. Just made plays and was impossible to tackle. If it wasn't for the bowling alley incident, he would of probably played both in college. This day in age, he would of almost gotten Lebron like treatment during his recruitment.

Still pretty dumb to make that assumption considering there have been players his size succeed. Same height as Brees and Vick.. he could have put on some weight.

So you're making generalizations, got it.

He is one of the quickest, most talented athletes to ever play sports, and was regarded as one of the best high school football players in the country his senior year.

Number of black QBs his size in the NFL: 0
Saying he couldn't have made it in the NFL: still dumb

assuming he moved positions, he may have had a shot. Not as a QB though

He would have been a fantastic DB IMO

He could have made it in the NFL as something. I don't see why that's hard to think by some here.

Not so much anymore since parents live their dreams through their kids and have them "specialize" in a sport. Players used to play a bunch of sports and be all state in 2 or 3 of them.
