Will Usain Bolt good fit for NFL?

Question

Will he run so fast no one can stop him?

Answer 1

bob hayes was the most successful track man to make it in the nfl. it is possible for bolt to make it, but highly unlikley.

Answer 2

Highly unlikely.  A vast number of incredible athletes attempt to play football every year and most fail.  There's a huge difference in running 100 meters vs. running 20 yards in between grown men intent on hurting you.  This isn't to say Usain Bolt isn't a phenomenal athlete; however, I highly doubt his speed would remain after one big shot from an NFL linebacker.

Answer 3

maybe he can be like devin hester

Answer 4

no probably not. Track athletes have tried to play in the nfl but it doesnt work out. The game isnt about pure speed. It invloves a combination of strength, explosiveness, agility, quickness, reaction, and coordination. Not just speed.

Answer 5

Great question. I will say this, if he has not played football before, he would have to learn routes. With his speed, I will place him on special teams and them have him become a third down receiver. With his speed, he should beat most cb's deep. Question is, can he take a hit and or can he leap?  

Answer 6

not at all

Answer 7

Possibly, I'd place him as the Kickoff Returner.

Answer 8

i dont know ive never seen him cathc a football, or hold one for that matter. but yea he would have to just run a bunch of seams cuz he would get killed across the middle. and the defense would catch on after one play or less on the go and just have the safety play 30 yards deep or somthin. so no i dont think so.  

Answer 9

He'll probably get killed. There will be a huge bullseye on his back. Football is a game of violent collisions, not runnung in a straight line.

Answer 10

No way !!! The first time he comes across the middle to catch a high pass, and lets saaaayyyyy Ray Lewis is waiting on him, that will be the end of his NFL experience
