Mcnabb played basketball at Syracuse

It looks like Boheim taught him the bounce pass pretty good.

Marcus Pollard played hoops at Bradley as well as Julius Peppers at UNC but usually all the good 2/sport athletes in college that played both for football and basketball are good at one sport and average at the other with the exception of Charlie Ward.

Allen Iverson would have been a better QB than McNabb, if you saw him play in high school you would agree.

I can't understand why people would go to the NFL when they could play in the NBA or MLB... why? Money! NFL teams have to pay 55 players and they have a salary cap. NBA teams only have to pay 12 players (even though they have a cap as well) and baseball has no cap.

I went to college in Atlanta and watched Deion play for the Braves. One year he batted over .300 and was automatic for stealing 2nd when he was on first. He went to play football for $600,000 a year. He could have made $5 million a year playing baseball.

In the NBA, players with skills will make twice as much in salary as in the NFL, and they can go out, party, drink and smoke weed every day. In the NFL, you actually have to work, run windsprints, get yelled at, spend time learning plays. Stuff like that.

I don't understand why anyone who has multiple-sport talents would go to the NFL, unless they really, really, love football.

Lebron James could definately be in the NFL right now.

 

[Horseshoe]

He definitely wasn't the Point Guard, because his field/court vision is sh!t, and he can't run a play without making it busted before it needs be, also forces the ball into traffic from afar, and he would definitely get his pockets picked from the backside, as he never senses pressure in time.

He's the Pearl Washington of NFL QB's..it's all ad-lib on the fly!

 

[Chris@OlympicSports]

Iverson was the best HS QB I ever saw, guy was unreal

 

[GreenDoberman]

Completely agree there, Chris. I remember the way he single handedly led Bethel to the state championship. Every play he was in on, I think he ran back something like 9 punts for TDs that year, too.

Iverson was unreal, nobody could stop him, he made Micahel Vick look slower
