vice versa, does anyone have a problem with this? I just think that a player should stick to what he does best to develop fully in that sport-jared mitchell and chad jones

Jeremy Witten played FB and BB. One year on the day of the spring FB game, he played in the baseball game and then that night, played in the FB game in his baseball uni and a FB helmet.

Decades ago, before there was overlap in sports seasons, you had guys playing everything; FB, baseball, basketball, track, etc.

i think kids should be able to play whatever they want, and if they are good enough to play 2 sports in college, good for them.

I think a player should play the sport or sports he enjoys playing.

Nope. Still on both teams. He just isn't going to participate in spring football practice.

I think the athletes should be able to do what they want...why discourage Chad Jones from being the next Bo Jackson? God blesses some people to be pure athletes like Chad Jones and Jared Mitchell. Chad Jones, could go either way. If he wants to play in the big leagues he can...if he wants to play in the NFL he can. Don't discourage that in my opinion
