and what position would they play?

[cincinnatikid513]

russell wilson 2nd base

None of those clowns in NFL could hit a baseball

If any of them could throw they'd be in mlb

[Chi_archie]

Kyle Long he was drafted and had a 96 MPH fastball and was drafted by white sox

set up man and a LEFTY

[MinnesotaFats]

Lefty @ 96 mph would be #1 pick

$20mm easy

Where'd he get drafted? Why NFL?

[Chi_archie]

gotta be hardest first pitch ever

[Chi_archie]

lots of guys get drafted by mlb but have college football dreams, we see it every year. I'm gonna assume when your Dad is Howie Long, that football is really your first love.

Money is everyone's love

prob true too.

37 million for 7 years work, so I guess it turned out ok. If he'd gone baseball he'd have gotten 100k signing bonus, toiled for peanuts for 2-4 years in the minors and flamed out or injured 97% of time and selling insurance.

No no, mlb is slotted now. Top 5 is at least 7mm

His 2nd contract, if hes any good, is then 300 million

It wasn't in 2008 and 23rd round doesn't get you that .

He clearly had a way better shot at NFL money.

No one is arguing he should or could have been an mlb baseball player.

But if you HAD to do it, he'd be as good as any.

^^^^ there wouldn't be many passed balls, that's for sure. lol

I’d put Kyler Murray in CF for the Mariners, and get rid of Mallex. Kyler could probably hit for just as bad an average.

Kyle Long says he has not heard from the Jets about a potential return to the field (Twitter link via Rick Tarsitano of WGN). This contradicts a report from earlier today which indicated that the Jets were attempting to talk the former Bears offensive lineman out of retirement.

Long, 31, stepped away from the game after years of injury trouble. When Long was younger and healthy, he was one of the game’s best interior lineman. From 2013 through 2015 – Long’s first three years in the NFL – he was a perennial Pro Bowler. He was also an annual fixture on Pro Football Focus’ list of the top-ranked offensive guards in the league.

The Jets have made a serious effort to upgrade their offensive line this offseason and they have gone this route before, having just recently lured Ryan Kalil out of retirement. But, according to Long, that’s not the case here. With his 32nd birthday on the horizon in December, Long seems content with retirement.

According to Over The Cap, Long earned upwards of $37MM over the course of his seven-year career in Chicago – more than enough cash to ride out retirement. The Jets, meanwhile, have about $25MM in available cash that they can use to strengthen other areas of need.

Michael Jordan. Outfield.

Golden Tate was a baseball star too at ND.

Tons of QB were big time pitchers. Most of them really. Jameis Winston is one.

[daneblazer]

Probably someone fast who you can sub in as a pinch runner. Mlb pitchers would mow down anyone like Murray or Wilson.
