Like De'Aaron Fox should never see Pat Surtain II, BUT, I think he can get a reception or two against a handful of coverages

idk, I think we got a handful of guys who played football in high school who can shake laterally at least A BIT

They have to get put against linebackers or safeties with bad man skills

Nah they getting locked up at receiver regardless of how much they develop

There are a few guards that, if they developed any kind of football savvy/IQ whatsoever, that could potentially sniff wide receiver

They can only play tight end, and even that is a huge stretch

They getting run the fuck over on defense

They can't be anywhere on defense

But that's why I'm saying the conversation needs where you're putting them

You know what I mean though, these guys aren't build for that type of contact

So that wouldn't be out of the norm

NFL players aren't blocking Micah Parsons, Myles Garrett or T.J. Watt

My thing is that there are not 30 NBA players blocking Micah Parsons or Myles Garrett, or T.J. Watt for that matter

I mean...

People hear NBA to tight end and forget that they have to block too

My thing is that there are not 30 NBA players blocking Micah Parsons or Myles Garrett, or T.J. Watt for that matter

Like they can't play receiver. They'll never get open

The issue with the argument, imo, is that it doesn't specify WHERE they're playing

With no training? Just take Ant and throw him into a training camp? No shot

But I'm sure you take an explosive guy like Anthony Edwards, 6'4", great vert, slap him at tight end, teach him how to run 4 or 5 routes? He could play in the NFL

It's at most like 3 of them

I don't think the thought is comedic. I think the number Austin Rivers applied to it is comedic

The facade that NBA players are making that they can go to the league right now if they wanted to, however, is comedic at best

Are there athletes on both sides that could - with training - make the leap to another league? 1000%

I think someone like Anthony Edwards could

It's not completely impossible that an NBA player could play tight end for an NFL team

But in any case, Jimmy Graham didn't play any organized football prior to the NFL except for a season at Miami

He was the No. 1-ranked football prospect in Ohio, described as a "readymade" NFL wide receiver and a "taller, slower version of Randy Moss."

Fam

I think he was the #1 WR in Ohio

He was one of top WRs in HS he could pick it back up pretty quick imho

maybe with an offseason

he wouldn't.

no

with no training?
