If Lebron was in the NFL..?

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

So I'm a Heat fan (not a band wagoner btw. i was born in miami and have loved them since i was born) and I love Lebron. Everything about his game including his strength, speed, explosion and finesse game. My question is if he was in the NFL where would he rank as a WR or as a TE in the NFL right now. He was an all state WR in high school and is there anything about him that says he couldn't succeed in the NFL with his speed for his size. I personally think he'd be challenging Calvin as a top WR but that's just my opinion. Barring injury which occurs a lot in the NFL obviously, how good do you think he'd be?

 

And to the many haters of Lebron, answer without bias. Thanks

[Vance]

What's his 40 time?

[NewEra]

If if was a fith we'd all be drunk! Pacer fan and poud hater that is the heat and lebron ;)

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

What's his 40 time?

He said that this summer without any practice he ran a 4.6 but his fastest ever calculated was out of HS at 4.38. 

[James]

What's his 40 time?

Faster than Manti's.

Seriously though, LeBron is an incredible athlete, and he'd be a matchup nightmare either as a WR or TE.

[Playoffs2013]

Wide receiver

[Dustin]

Tight End.

[NewEra]

Yeah, but does he have that grit? Tough guy mentality to play football. It's a lot different than bb. I never cared for bb because it wasn't a contact/violent sport. Well that and I'm only 5'8 ;)

sorry i have to bow out

Yeah...... Tuesday needs to hurry up. When the NFL & NBA cross, we've reached a problem

lol yea me too. Looking forward to the Colts making a big splash in free agency. #BuildTheMonster

I could see LeBron being a very good DE too.  He is simply massive.  I think he could play DE, TE, or WR.  He might have the athleticism to play S, but I don't think he has the ability to play CB.  Plus, a 6'8" DB is unheard of

[Qwiz]

sorry i have to bow out

I would too but I'm still going to answer lol. As someone else mentioned football is a completely different sport than basketball...just because he dominates there I wouldn't necessarily believe he would be at the same level at this point in his career in the NFL. He would have some tread on the tires by now and would probably still be good at WR but he wouldn't have the media at his feet like he does in the NBA.

[Peytonparker]

WOW!!!! This forum has officially run out of WR threads

[Tark The Shark]

The thing with Lebron, he is just a physical freak.

 

I think he could play any of the ball hawking positions like CB, SS, LB, WR, TE. 

 

Although I think he picked the right sport in basketball, because the 6'7"-7' beyond guys are just meant to play basketball and wouldn't get attacked in basketball, like they do in football. Also Basketball is a better to the body than football is.

[Marcio James]

if Lebron was in the NFL .... and he was Colts player, this theard could be in Colts Football forum

[Dark Superman]

Lebron is 260 pounds, lol. That's more like a LB.. Not a DB. Not to mention he's 6'8.. free safety? Lol.

[WSnotch]

He's too soft. you can't flop in football.

Figures you would have nothing better to do then complain about where a topic is...

I would still hate him

They took their talents to Miami?

[Balzer40]

Lebron would get hit 1 time from a real man and he would cry like a little girl and go home.

Think you right...

If you just threw him into the NFL right now he probabaly wouldn't be good because he'd have no idea what he's doing. He'd probabaly get blown up by LBs, safeties ect and possibly injured.

Now if he continued playing Football since high school I could see him possibly being a solid football player due to his athleticism. Not sure if he would be up there with KJ though. He would also be oversized for a WR so he'd probabaly be a TE and get absolutely blown up on the line by DEs or LBs. I couldn't see him being a good blocking TE at all but maybe a speedy recieving TE.

I was thinking DE for a second also but he would be too tall w skinny legs. He would also probabaly get man handled by stronger OL. Compare Lebrons legs for instance to the likes of Freeney's legs lol. Lebron definitely wouldn't be bull rushing his opponents. However if he got on a massive strength regiment, put some weight on this legs and got bigger and stronger who knows.

[UKColt13]

I'd take him as a TE.

Has the size at 6'8 250lbs. And is an incredible athlete with obviously great hands.

Would take him in the draft if we had a need.

[Jules]

I'd rather get KG and put him on defense and have him make crude comments to opposing QBs about their wives/girlfriends during games.

That's the exact "hypothetical" I was thinking of.

Those two distinctions on when he would start playing changes from could he play, and no chance.

yeah this bunch now you either love or hate. I'm on the love side.

I was born and raised in Indiana and my Dad thought Larry Bird was the greatest basketball player ever. So I'm a Celtics fan because of him lol.

Yeah it's the same with a guy like KG. Love him or hate him. I personally think he is awesome.  I am not a big Rondo fan though so I kinda like this group better without him ATM. Lets see how far they can go.....they have the heart when it matters most that's for sure.

[Steagles]

I hate Lebron. I hate the heat. (Almost as much as the bulls and their fans that is.) however, I dont think he could play. He whines when people breathe on him so I'd be concerned about when he gets hit like Wade hit DC that he would get tossed for complaining about being touched.

[James]

People, people. LeBron may have done some immature things ("Chosen one" tattoo, the I'm taking my talents to South Beach-show/one hour ESPN special, "not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4" etc), but is he really that much worse than other players? Or does the madness/hate come from the fact that you finally realize he made that right decision (i.e. leaving that brutally inept Cleveland FO/franchise, who he by the way played his heart out for) in joining/forming a team with high quality players and stars (Wade, Bosh) in order to win a ring? And that you can't stand the fact that the Heat will be a contender for years to come and LeBron will continue to dominate?

 

Well, I guess since most of you are from Indiana anyway, I'll just leave it with a "stay salty, and we'll see you in the ECF".

To answer your question, yes it's getting pretty annoying. Even more so than the annoying haters.

I was just bustin your chops take it easy friend.

Besides you should thank me. I'm a Celtics fan, and if we hadn't whooped Lebron and the Cavs the year he entered free agency, he might never have joined the heat lol.

I see you added me as a hater in your edit. Why so defensive?
