Maybe this is already a thing, but I feel like the scouting department should have a team that only evaluates players from non football sports.
I have always said Jamari Traylor could have been an amazing tight end. He was never going to play in the NBA, so why not take a chance.
I know whatshisface just said he could put 30 NBA players in the NFL, and lots of people think he is crazy, including JJ Watt. But, the NFL thinks a 6'6" TE is big, but that is a guard in the NBA. And a lot of forwards in the NBA could probably be good enough at receiver to be a WR3 at least.
LeBron was a highly rated WR in high school. Many of the NBA players probably played high school football at least.
And is there a sumo wrestler out there with enough speed and lateral agility to play offensive line? What about Lacrosse? Track? Soccer? And obviously Rugby.
I am so damn high and I am now envisioning a UFL franchise, who, through some calamity or other, cannot employee members of the UFL Players Union, so they recruit from every other sport, and we get a tryout montage, and an inspirational underdog movie out of it.
