chirorob Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Not a full time player. Deion was a nice deep threat on offense, and an elite defender as well as punt returner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Given the physical toll the game takes I can’t see an elite two way player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UntouchableCrew Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 No, not in that sense. Most likely feels like a Deion type who plays CB but can moonlight as a "playmaker." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSNY Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 There have been already as many of the old time NFL players played both ways as the rosters consisted of only 32 players.

Best you're going to get is a corner doing spot WR duty. No one can hold up physically to doing both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extmenace Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 No, I don’t think a team would even entertain the thought of even letting an average starter play on both sides of the ball full time. The injuries in football are so prevalent that no team would allow their players to 2x the exposure. Ohtani is pitching once every 6 days. It’s impressive but completely different than a full time two way player in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Deebo Samuel doesnt even want to catch and run with the football. I cant imagine a guy playing both sides. It would be fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 William Perry had those 2 wonderful TDs back in 1985. There are actually some better examples of defensive players doing some very part-time work on offense (and v.v.) Mike Vrabel scored 10 TDs (on 10 catches in 14 attempts). JJ Watt caught 3 TDs in 2014. Randy Moss has an INT. Troy Brown has 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelScott Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Goes without saying that it's a different sport with significantly different in game endurance factors that just doesn't translate. A player that can be a fulltime CB then going and running routes as a WR on the offense? Even if they only play a quarter of the offensive snaps it's not possible. As it is we have players that only play one side of the ball needing to be subbed out to keep them effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
