B-More G asked:
I heard on radio here in baltimore that they were talkin about Usain Bolt as a receiver. They were sayin that he has a 45″ vertical and is way faster than anyone else. Is this just what-if speculation or does he really have interest in it?
He said in china he might not be running track in 4 years due to his aging legs. He said i’m leaving track as the best and not waitin for my decline.

oh i think he can be a hell of a good receiver……but is he willing to take chances? i doubt it.
If he is going to be a reciever, he is goin on my fantasy team
what if he cant catch?
or what if he can’t understand the plays/memorize them?
It would be a great idea and a disaster.
Here’s why.
He would out run anyone in the NFL and make a few great catches if he has good hands. He hasn’t played a down yet.
The first good/great hit and he could be ruined for the rest of his life from running track. Understand that if you have a serious injury you may never be the same after trying to rehab the injury.
Remember Renaldo (Skeets) Nehemiah? He worked out in 1982 for several NFL teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers and ended up signing with the 49ers in a blaze of publicity and high expectations. During his three years as a wide receiver he caught 43 passes for 754 yards, a 17.5 average, and 4 touchdowns. Although he was part of the Super Bowl winning team in the 1984 season, he did not play a major role. His football career was a failure – indeed, it represents one of the most glaring mistakes ever made by 49ers head coach Bill Walsh – winning Nehemiah a comparison to the track star Jimmie “Oops” Hines, who won his infamous nickname for his inability to catch the ball. Nehemiah returned to track in 1986. He managed to achieve world rankings four more times before retiring from athletics after the 1991 season.
After football :
These are his fastest times after his return. His world rankings are in parentheses.
1986 13.48
1987 13.71
1988 (10) 13.43
1989 (4) 13.20
1990 (6) 13.22
1991 (4) 13.19
He wasn’t injured while playing but he wasn’t the same after.
I think it’s a bad idea.
Why?
World class track and field athletes earn millions.
Ever see Carl Lewis’ house?
he probably wouldn’t be a good receiver
but he could help T.O. with his usain bolt impression
