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

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.

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.

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.

Champions league
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

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