In anticipation of the Super Bowl, Buster Olney mused in his ESPN Insider column yesterday about baseball players that could potentially make it in the NFL. Number 5 on the list was The Man, Chase Utley. Buster said, “You could see him being a possession receiver who is willing to go over the middle and take the hit in order to get the first down.” True, but we all know Chase would excel in any position on the field.
Who else would make a good footballer – maybe Raul at linebacker or Ryan Howard at fullback?
