Weekend of blogging? III


Why don't football teams take these guys that don't make the Olympics...and put them on their teams? Or take them after the Olympics, when their track careers are all but over?

I'd put two of them back to return kicks, take the guy with better hands and have him return punts and play wide receiver.

At Wide Out - the cornerback would have to play back 10 yards just to cover him. You could throw little quick slants and it'd be an easy 6 or 7 yards even if the defensive back made a good tackle.

It just seems like a no-brainer.

The Texans are looking at Justin Gatlin - he runs a 4.1 40. That means he'd be putting on a t-shirt while Michael Vick was crossing the tape.

I'd probably let him make my team, teach him to run a go, a post and a wheel route...and just start chucking the ball his way. I'm guessing that'd help keep teams from putting 8 in the box.

just a thought...
