dude is too big of a joker to do any football. The guy is a clown. A very, very, very fast clown.

Gatlin was on the Vols football team for a season....

I think a guy like him is worth a look you can't teach speed but honestly he's one of those guys were if you got a QB with an arm you go....dude just ran as fast as you can and I'll throw it with all I got and we'll see if we can hook it.

I don't think it would be possible to overthrow him.

Joe Delaney ran on Northwestern Louisiana's NCAA championship 4x100 team with Mark Duper in the early 80's.

I wasn't aware that Bolt (great name for a lightning-fast sprinter) wanted to play in the NFL. It would be an awful decision to throw money at this guy and lure him into playing a game he's not qualified for. Why do people even talk about this? Gretz disappointed me with this stupid article ...

It's just something to think about....

It won't happen though because after the records he'll likely pull in 9 figures in sponsors.

Yeah the days of olympic champions struggling for peanuts is over.

At this point in time he'd have to take a paycut to play in the NFL. But if he gets busted like most of the sprinters do eventually that might be an option. There aren't any clean sprinters out there it's just a matter of the tests catching up to them.

The thing about Bolt that I don't see anyone talking about is how fking big the dude is. He's 6'5" and the fastest man alive. Holy shit? When standing at the starting line all of the other 100m sprinters were about his shoulder height and yet he blew right past them. I see that size and speed and I think jesus, he's tailor made to be an NFL receiver, if he could catch a ball at all then that kind of size and speed is hard not to give a look.
