Will we ever see a professional 2 sport player again?

[malbaker86]

And I mean one that contributes in BOTH sports?

Bo Jackson
Dieon Sanders
Brian Jordan

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

No

 

[FukkaPaidEmail]

Major sport? Probably not.

But I can see there maybe one day where a random nfl CB or WR may have legit competitive track speed/ potential

 

[concise]

There could have been some but guys don't want to do that anymore and appreciate picking 1 sport and having a full offseason like the rest of their teammates.

 

[Silkk]

Last one could’ve been Kyler Murray right?


Teams ain’t going for that shyt no more when investing all that money

 

[Trips]

Not the likes of Bo, Deion or even Brian Jordan for sure.

They aren't as prominent as they used to be, but you still get a few guys that are duel sports in College, but they are never elite at both. Like @Silkk mentioned I feel Kyler was the last elite one and he had to choose one over the other.

It is still fun watching a random College Baseball game and some dude makes a play in the outfield and then they pop up a clip of a football highlight from the previous season.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

Too much money at stake and too grueling on the body for it to be a realistic endeavor these days even with modern medicine.

 

[broller]

It's not likely but I suppose possible. Kyler might have had a chance if he didn't play QB. But the demands of QB are too high.

to OP, yes...but i'm gonna go left and say in sports we wouldn't think of

like a baseball player who is a LEGIT PGA caliber scratch golfer....or gold medal track star who is competitive in tennis majors.

I won't be surprised if Steph Curry when he retires gives professional golf a try

Funny you say this, because some people believe the increase in sporting injuries is because athletes are NOT playing two sports enough

Playing only 1 sport overuses certain muscles and movements, and leaves other muscles under utilized
