Scout One: "I really believe that in a matter of a few months, after some serious practice and contact, he'd be the best non-quarterback player in football. He'd play tight end, and he'd be better than [Rob Gronkowski] or any other tight end. He'd be better than Megatron. LeBron James would dominate the NFL."


Scout Two: "My question would be, what would happen once the hitting started? I also don't think he'd be able to block, which would be a liability to some degree—but there have been great tight ends who couldn't block. In today's game, blocking by the tight end isn't as huge a deal as it once was.

"He'd be an impossible matchup. He'd draw a pass inference penalty every play. You couldn't cover him with one guy. The Megatron comparison is a good one. Megaton is what [6'5"], and LeBron is [6'8"] and can run probably faster. He's young, still (28). He'd be in that Megatron mold, only bigger, stronger, faster. Think about a [receiver] that would be better than Megatron, better than [Gronkowski]. A lot better. That would be LeBron."


The third scout had a different take: "He wouldn't be able to take the physical abuse. A guy that tall crossing the middle of the field would get killed. I don't think he would last a single game."

Then the scout made an interesting point.

"He would be a huge target, because every player would want to knock the piss out of LeBron James."

I don't think he's as fast as Megatron. Bron is fast as well but Megatron was sub 4.4 at the combine which is still mindblowing. Two, someone would say fukk the penalty and target him.

Otherwise, he could be pretty damn good. I don't see why not. I think a lot of basketball players could be pretty good WR's if they learned how to run routes and take contact.

Alot of idiots confuse a non contact sport like basketball with a pure contact sport like football. Hitting people is what football is, that is not basketball. There would be nothing for LeBron to complain about in football.

As far as targeting him, get fukkin real. These are the same DB's we watch week in and week in making p*ssy ass arm tackles diving at people legs and we're supposed to believe they're going to grow the balls to target a 6'9 250 lb receiver. All you'd have to is put him in once you're in the redzone and throw the ball up.
