So once he ceases to be an athlete, he wants to play in the English Premier League? Please post this in the “What is a sport” thread!
I’d say it’s more likely that he played a lot of soccer growing up than he did American football.
Along similar lines, I’ve heard several NFL players and coaches say that LeBron James could have been the greatest tight end in NFL history, at least in term of red zone TD’s. 6’8", 250 lbs, great hands, and a vertical leap over 40".
In the UK we use the term ‘Athletics’ as a generic term for the sport of track and field. But then, being from the Falklands, you should know that 
I’m not really from the Falklands. But they don’t have Dagobah on the list, so I picked the most remote place I could think of.
Why would you misrepresent yourself as from there then, especially given the politically sensitive nature of the Falklands? It seems pretty juvenile to say you’re from somewhere you’re actually not - I would act under the assumption that anyone who ever hires/works with you may read what you’ve posted here.
^Seriously? You must really be a loser with no friends. I do kinda feel sorry for you.
Uh, okay bro…that was cool.
Or defensive end. Would have been an unstoppable pass rusher.

He could certainly take away a passing lane, but he’d need to add at least 30 pounds to have any chance at getting to the QB on a regular basis and live to tell about it.
It turns out, I’m not really from Djibouti.
Hmmm…do elaborate on the politically sensitive nature of the Falklands please.
To clarify Ramos4rm, do you mean that in a disparaging sense and are you disputing that the Falklands is politically sensitive?
my thoughts exactly.
What? No, I’m asking you to explain so we can understand why you’re mad that Greenie put he was from the Falklands.
Just for the record–I picked the Falklands because I have actually been to the Falkland Islands.
About the Falklands–If there’s a bright center of the universe, it’s the island that it’s farthest from.

Freeney didn’t seem to have issues rushing the passer at his weight. I think in a 3-4, sure, he would need to be like 280-290, but in a 4-3 I could see a 6-8 250 defensive end working out if he was ultra-athletic.
Freeney is only 6’1", so O linemen couldn’t get the kind of leverage they would be able to get on a guy who’s 6’8". Freeney was also around 265. Julius Peppers is probably the closest you’ll come to LeBron height-wise and he’s almost 290.
Dwight Freeney was an OLB and not a DE in a 3-4. Lebron’s body type would be best at 3-4 DE if he bulked up. He’s big enough for a 4-3 DE and could do well there, but may have too much length.
I played prepschool lax with a an all American post-grad that we brought in. He’ never played football once in his life and picked it up. He was the all conference MVP by the end of the season. It was pure perfection watching this move.
Dumbest guys I’ve ever known. But who cares?
