Usain Bolt
I wonder if after the Olympics are over if any NFL team will try to sign him and try to convert him into a WR project like, Renaldo Nehemiah, Bob Hayes, Ron Brown, Willie Gault, etc. At 6'5" and 9.69 seconds, why not. The scary part is this guy could have gone faster, but started to slow down towards the end. What a beast!!

Re: Usain Bolt
why even bother? just because they have fast speed doesnt mean they will be an execllent reciever, they have to be able to catch, run routes, e.t.c

Re: Usain Bolt
Do I see a possible Colt to Bolt connection in the Redskins future?

Re: Usain Bolt
I have to admit his speed does intrigue me but let's face it looking at past sprinters turned WRs, the odds of him becoming a great WR are very slim. Ron Brown is the only one I can remember that was decent to good.
Another thing to consider is the NFL contract set up. If this guy is young with a very bright track and field future ahead of him with the potential to become the greatest sprinter in history with all the potential endorsements and fame that could follow (yes, U.S. and International companies can market him) why would he want to get his body beat to hell in the NFL with a contract that has only a modest signing bonus guaranteed compared to what he could make in future endorsements and still be able to walk at 50? Plus the man has been a sprinter all his young adult life, he has never played football. This in his world would be taking a huge risk/gamble. More than likely in my opinion he would stick with track even if offered an NFL contract. He would be wise to do so. |
