A Football Team, Without Any Football Players

The men of the national football league dominate the sport of football.
They are the best in the world at the sport and exert said dominance every Sunday afternoon.Often, in sports, the gauntlet of challenges gets thrown down between sports of choice.
Just last year, there were talks of a foot race between Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson, and Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt. So, what if these challenges were actually to take place? What if athletes from other sports decided to give football a try?
Here is a roster of what non-football athletes would put up the best challenge amongst the ranks of Tom Brady, Chris Johnson and the rest of the NFL.
Offense:
Quarterback: Roy Halladay, (6’6, 230 LBS) starting pitcher, Philadelphia Phillies. Halladay has an incredible ability to put the ball exactly where he wants to and has a rocket for an arm.--two attributes any quarterback would love to have.
Runningback: Nate Robinson, (5’9,180 LBS) Guard, Boston Celtics. Robinson has quick footwork, and incredible hops. In football, Robinson would look similar to Darren Sproles of the San Diego Chargers, and would not be featured as an every down back.
Runningback: Kobe Bryant, (6’6, 205) Guard, Los Angeles Lakers. While critics might point out that Bryant may be a little big for the running back position, there is no doubt he is an incredible athlete and he can do amazing things with his feet.
Fullback: Albert Pujols, (6’3 230) First baseman, St. Louis Cardinals. Pujols is just the right size for a full back, and has the body to be a physical blocker and the power to run with his head down if he needs to.
Wide Receiver: Lebron James, (6’8 250) Arguably the best athlete in the world right now, James is fast physical, and can jump through the roof. He would make a perfect receiver.
Wide Receiver: Usain Bolt, (6’4 198) He is the fastest man in the world. Nobody is going to be able to cover the fastest man in the world.
Tight End: Dwight Howard (6’11, 265), Center, Orlando Magic Howard is super athletic, strong and has a ridiculous leaping ability; not only would he be effective blocker, but also route runner and pass catcher.
Offensive line: Prince Fielder (5’11, 268) 1st baseman, Milwaukee Brewers, David Ortiz (6’4, 230) First baseman, Boston Red Sox, Roy Nelson (6’3, 263) MMA Heavywight fighter, Quinton Aaron, the actor who played Michael Oher in The Blind Side, and Pablo Sandoval (5’11, 230) 3rd Baseman, San Franciso Giants.
Defense:
Defensive End: Dwight Howard, let’s be honest he could play both ways.
Defensive Tackle: Brock Lesnar (6’3,265) MMA Heavyweight Champion. Lesnar is an absolute beast of a human, who has the strength and quickness to play tackle.
Defensive Tackle: Frank Mir (6’3, 252), MMA Heavyweight fighter. Mir is a tough, strong physical force who can deliver punches and take them.
Defensive end: Ron Artest, (6’7, 250) Forward, Los Angeles Lakers. Artest is mean and loves contact and delivering blows, in a no contact sport. He would be a force to be reckoned with in the NFL.
Linebacker: Jon “Bones” Jones, (6’4, 206). MMA light heavyweight figher. Jones loves contact and delivers suffering blows to his opponents, just like a linebacker should.
Linebacker: Mark Texiera, (6’3 220) 1st baseman, New York Yankees. Texiera has power and speed, and focused eyes for reading a quarterback.
Linebacker: Sidney Crosby (5’11,200) Center, Pittsburgh Penguins. He may be small, but the man can pack a punch, and is incredibly agile.
Cornerback: Dwayne Wade (6’4, 220) Guard, Miami Heat. Wade is almost perfect size for the corner position, and has good speed and great ball handling skills, and hops. He’s the perfect corner.
Cornerback: Chris Paul (6’0, 200) Guard, New Orleans Hornets. He’s the same as Wade, just smaller.
Cornerback: Tyson Gay, (5’11, 165) Sprinter, USA. Though he may not be ideal size, he once beat Usain Bolt, so rest assured he will never get beat deep.
Safety: Jordan Tootoo, (5’9, 197) Right Wing, Nashville Predators.
Though he may not be huge, Tootoo is quick on his feet and one of the most punishing hitters in the NHL, which is just what a safety needs to be coming over the top.
