How would Justin Gatlin be on a football field?

Question

Justin recently was caught with a performance enhancing agent and was banned from track and field after an illustrious career breakig the 100m world record (non-natural) and running times people can only dream of. Now he takes to the field, of course he will be the fastest man in the NFL, but how will he/ or not contribute?

Answer 1

Good Question. After he tried out for the Texans, they obviously said they loved his speed and he could catch the ball well. He is looking to play Wide Reciever, but since I havent seen him play a lick of football he would most likely be a punt/kick returner. With speed like that all he has to do is follow his blocks and set his team up with the best position possible or bring it to the house.

He does have decent size for a reciever at 6-1, and 170lbs...but no one knows if he can catch the pigskin and/or take a hit.

Answer 2

Not much. Most NFL skill players have great natural speed. The same tremendous differences in speed for track and sprint training, are minute differences in speed for football and general speed training.

Answer 3

it fairly is Blake's race to lose....Gatlin purely won't manage to close the deal after his stunning starts and Bailey/gay will basically medal if this race shatters by way of an athlete or 2 getting thumbed for fouls with the aid of leaping the gun.

Answer 4

It's hard to tell. I think he could either be a kick returner, punt returner or wide receiver. Depending on his toughness, he may even be able to play defensive back. His breakaway speed would be unquestioned, but his lateral speed and movement would be the question.

Answer 5

We all know he has wheels. His hands would be the only concern. If he can hold on to the ball man you would have one hell of a reverse threat!!!

Answer 6

Flattened.
