What Athlete Would Make a Great "???" In Another Sport?

I heard an interesting topic on The Chris Arnold Show on sports talk radio here in Dallas today.... They were talking Rangers and one of the guys says "boy, Josh Hamilton would make a great linebacker."

First, I know....athletes are athletes and if they put their minds to it they could do whatever they want. Thats correct.

But just for kicks....based on size, speed, strength, ability, athleticism, intelligence and whatever else you can think of...what athlete could you see making a great player at particular position in another sport?

I'll start with the obvious.....LeBron James would be an absolutely insane wide receiver!!

And for some strange reason, I believe Steve Nash could've been a great second baseman.

I think Tiger Woods would be a recieving FB. He's a little under sized for TE and not really big enough for LB. Or fast enough for HB. I think FB that can catch in space would be him :P

Yeah definitely, tiger is really athletic so I think Phil Mickelson would be the obvious choice to play point guard in the NBA. I mean Phil is so athletic, plus his court vision is off the charts so it's a no-brainer really.

I think some soccer goalies would make decent WRs in football. Someone like David James come's to mind there.

Shaq as an OL also comes to mind pretty easily.

Thats a really good one. Yes....goalies as receivers.
