LeBron James under center?

It’s a constant topic when people bring up LeBron James and that topic is whether or not LeBron could make it as a NFL player. This time it isn’t fans saying that he could play in the NFL it’s someone who actually played the game. Former Redskins’ quarterback Joe Theismann believes that LeBron could make a good NFL quarterback if he just worked on his footwork, Theismann even offered to be his agent. This is what Theismann told FOX Sports Florida;

I would love to work him out and also serve as his agent. I’ll go wherever he wants this summer. He could play another four years in the NBA before seriously trying the NFL. There are not a lot of 38- or 39-year-old basketball players, but there are 38- and 39-year-old quarterbacks, so there’s always time for him.

Theismann wasn’t done talking about this topic as he brought it to the NFL Network’s NFL AM show saying, “Who wouldn’t want to coach LeBron James? He’s the most physical specimen we have in professional sports. He could do, I think, anything he wanted.”

Thiesmann is right in saying that he is the most physical specimen in professional sports, but if LeBron won’t do the dunk contest do you think he’d try his luck in the NFL?

Even though it’s just food for thought let us know how you think LeBron would fare as an NFL quarterback.
