    Who do you think the NFL's best Athlete is??

    Here are some choices, feel free to add some more, athlete meaning they can play more than one position

    1. Julius Peppers- All-pro DE that can play LB, TE, probly could play HB. Can drop back playing DE and he had 2 INTS. Plays like he is 200 pounds. Can chase down Vick

    2. Mike Vick-QB-he can run and pass, could play HB

    3. Troy Brown-WR CB PR-Good at all 3 positons, goes wherever his team needs him

    4. Matt Jones-QB/WR/HB-Is a huge and runs like a 4.4.

    5. Chris Gamble-CB/WR played both in college, could start at WR if the panthers need him. 6 INTS last year

    Other than troy brown and peppers(but only in 3-4 scheme at LB) none of these guys can start at multiple positions

    yea vick runs like a QB, and some times they line him up a WR.

    Gamble if he decided to play WR only in college would have been a second round pick.

    Matt Jones could be a starting WR, TE, backup QB, they might even play him at RB if fred taylor knees arent good enough

    1.Vick 2.Moss 3.Jones

    I'd like to also throw in Andre Johnson too I think. He is fast, decent leaper. And Allen Rossum just for pure speed.

    Andre Johnson for sure, and Moss as well. Moss has spent some time earlier in his career as a CB, and his QB rating in the NFL is better than many starting QB's.

    How about Antwan Randell El. He played QB in college and the Steelers like to use him on reverses and sometimes throws. Amazing kick and punt returning and blazing speed.

    i'd say vick but what about Hines Ward, he played QB in college and is one of the best WRs in the league, plus hes an excellant downfield blocker

    I am going to throw into the mix Shaun Rogers. He is 340 lbs and can do a 360 dunk. That is pretty impressive.

    so just because a dude can catch and bat a ball CB/WR he is an amazing athlete when the truth is Gamble is a good CORNER and not even close to a sub par WR. I think theres a Panthers bias :cheesey:

    I would guess that you could hit the special teams list around the league and find some of the best athletes on the field. A lot of these guys are very athletic yet can't quite master a particular position.

    Dante's biggest hinderance is his size, imo. It's more than made up for in the field position we get to start each drive with thoug (cough...).
