He could but he won't. There is no player in the NFL who starts both sides of the ball all the time. Guys like Troy Brown and Deion Sanders filled in every once in awhile on the other side of the ball but never had a permanent spot.

Ted Ginn Jr. doesn't have the physical size or ability to be a #1 wide reciever in the NFL. He should make his money as a return man. He was a decent college reciever who played against Big 10 competition, which isn't the best at stopping the pass. He doesn't have what it takes to be a primary reciever in the NFL, and maybe would make a decent 2nd or 3rd reciever. He will need a little more size to be a good starter in the NFL. And there is no way he is going to play all three phases, probably not even two phases of the game.

Offense and Special Teams because he's such a crazy athlete like that. There's no way he would be able to play both sides of the ball, that's just too much for any athlete, even one that's crazy good like Teddy Ginn, plus, I don't think you have to even worry about the Falcons drafting him, there's NO way he makes it to ten, not with the Vikings there, who will either take him there or trade that pick to someone who will take him or Brady Quinn.

Physically he may be able to but at the most on the NFL level he might have a dual role as a Wide Receiver/Returner. And even those guys spend more time with special teams then at wide receiver (or in some cases defensive back). They want their players to be the best at their position, not decent at several positions. They pay them too much to risk them playing multiple positions and getting hurt from playing too much.

No i do not, i think he will be an ok receiver in the NFL, but not great. However, he will be an outstanding kick and punt returner, and i dont think that there is any question of that in anyones minds. As for defense.... is he crazy? where does he get off thinking that he can play d back? he was a great college receiver and special teams player, but there is no way he will ever play d back in the NFL.

Tom Brady is an incredible offensive participant... the only time he's on protection is whilst there's a turnover and there's a return. then it is his duty to help in making a handle and forestall a protective TD. and that i've got continuously seen him lacking tackles. Brady never performed on particular communities. different than i think of he replaced into the FG holder early in his occupation...

Do you know how tiring it is to play even one side of the ball in the NFL. I mean for God's sake, he's a wide receiver, not Superman.

maybe he can but no coach would be dumb enough to allow him to do that...it would be too much of an injury risk and he would not be at his best in any one area, because his focus would be diverted to the other areas of the game as well...he is better served to focus on being a receiver or a corner(one or the other) and a returner

Offense and ST, but he can't play CB very good... A lot like Devin Hester except better offensively.

No, it might be easy in college to do that but in the NFL, that is like impossible. It is ridiculous.
