Speed, strength, agility, stamina I would think. Although passing off everything as a skill is short-sighted. I don't care how much time I spend throwing a baseball, I'll never hit 100+ MPH (I tried though).

I am willing to bet Deion and Bo was NEVER cut at any league.

MJ sucked as a baseball player. .200 sucks.

Your opinion sucks then. Congrats, you can run. A NFL wide receiver has to fight off a bump at the line, run a route, and catch a ball thrown by a QB at usually much longer distances than it looks.

It takes Usain bolt 9.58 seconds to run the length of a football field. Those WR SKILLS have to be taught. You cant teach fast. Especially WR record fast!!!

FWIW second place goes to world class swimmers, and then its a toss up between elite NBA players(Kobe,MJ,Dr.J, ie. small forwards/scoring guards) and DBs or WRs in football.
