NFL Scouts on King James in the NFL

:


You're using THESE gifs as proof that he couldn't handle the physicality of football? It HAS occured to you that he's trying to draw a foul, right?

So could Blake Griffin dominate the NFL? Could a Young Shaq?

I'm not commenting on whether LeBron is soft or not, all I'm saying is that those gifs aren't good examples. He's obviously exxaggerating in order to get a foul

And add to the FACT that LeBron actually played HS football..

Are you for real comparing Bron playing HS football to the pros?

I'll just borrow a quote from Mike Tyson, "Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." I seen some of the most athletic cats I've ever been around come on the practice field, get hit once, then turn around and not say a word then just take their pads off and went home. This is different than running at other basketball players who run out of the way or high school football players running out of the way cause he's bigger. You never know how good someone will be until they start getting hit.

with training, bron would do fine @ TE. just completely ignore success stories of nikkas making it in the NFL who didn't play football in college.

For every Julian Thomas, Gates and Graham there's hundreds of basketball players trying to make the transition and fail terribly.

i dont think lebron james would fail. maybe Bean tho

for every failure its still nikkas who weren't stars but were solid players breh

 

[kingofnyc]

he could avg like 25 td a season
unstoppable in da redzone

Theres guys 5'8" 175 pounds playing in the NFL right now getting hit by players twice that size.

Its a very physically demanding sport but people act like football players are from a different planet or something...athletes are athletes

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

He'd be effective with proper training until HGH testing is passed. Then he would fall off and get injured and it would be rationalized as him "just getting older". Good-Great TE/DE though.

5'8 guys rely on completely different skill sets and have leverage which actually keeps them safe. A hit to the ribs on a 6'1 guys is a hit to the shoulder pads to a 5'8 guy, giving him a greater chance to break a tackle.

I don't think y'all understand the physics involved in playing the game that goes along with athleticism. He's too tall. I'd put him at DE honestly.

..I was commenting on the poster who talking about other basketball players converted to being successful football players..and some of whom didn't play football before...so basically I was saying that LeBron has a familiarity with football and has those instincts a la Antonio Gates...

there's plenty of 6'5 and above TE/WR, are we really acting like 2-3 inches makes that much of a difference..

 

[Jax]

That cut you trying to tell me Megatron can do that? Gronk can do that? Jimmy Graham can do that? Prime Gonzalez could do that? Scrub college basketball players dominating the NFL but the Kang wouldn't?

 

[Ronnie Lott]

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.

The same "pussified db's" that are knockin recievers out the game and gettin suspended and fined?

Kam Chancellor
Brandon Meriwether
Whitner
Eric Thomas
Goldson

Those boys would light Lebron up. Are u kiddin me? :pachaha

 

[greenygreen]

Um why can't he play with qb? Last I checked he was the best passer in the league and one of the smartest

It does make a difference. And most 6'5 TE/WR are scrubs. Look at NFL rosters
