    Kenyon Martin would make a sweet Outside Linebacker. He is incredibly strong, and pretty quick.

    If Zo was a DE... that'd be crazy considering his height and his blocking ability.

    Currently watching the PHX-LAC game, and I'm going to say Elton Brand. So much strength at 6'8. PHX has no one in their front line that can stop him, he's just punishing Diaw down low. I dont follow NFL alot, I'm a fan, but I dont know all the positions and requirements to play each position so I wont know what Brand could play in the NFL.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (drake24 @ Apr 5 2006, 03:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>LeBron said one time that he was better at football than basketball. He said he might have gone to the NFL, but he couldn't go straight out of high school, so he went to the NBA (I have no proof, just heard it on ESPN one time, so don't take my word for it).</div>Yeah I heard that also. Ben Wallace would be a great because he was orignially recruited to play football at Auburn.

    If AI was bigger, he would be a solid DB.Nate Robinson played football in college, I believe, and he has the body to be a DB.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Come on guys, all NBA players have the size and strength to possibly play in the NFL...you can give 300 different players and you could make a case for anyone.</div>So what? Being big and strong doesn't give you the skills to last in the NFL. I am willing to bet there are a max of 30 players in the NBA that could make an NFL roster.

    I was simply pointing out that almost all NBA players have the size to play in the NFL and can make a case for almost anyone.

    Shaq was an all american TE at his highschool. Nate Robinson as well. He has short arms and short legs. Definetly built more for football.
