Re: Gilmore: NFL players would be dominant in the Olympics
But here's a tantalizing question: What would happen if the NFL unleashed its players on Olympic events like table tennis, water polo and artistic gymnastics? Would the U.S. win gold medals in everything? "Some people just get the mind-set of football, football, football," said Buffalo Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore. "If we focused on the Olympics, we'd be dominant."
OK, it might not be that simple. But there is no denying that the NFL would be an excellent source of Olympians. Since football requires so many different body types and skill sets—immense speed, overpowering strength and pinpoint accuracy—there is probably someone in the NFL who fits the basic physical profile of the top stars in every Olympic event.
Not much fodder... Maybe in some events
