why hasnt an nfl team signed bolt

[nosniboR11]

When do you american stupid fat dumbfuuks realize its the other way???

He wants to play football. Not catching an egg morons

go bow down you ignorant lying pedophile pos.

NFL players are slow, they would get killed by average track athletes.

All the 40 times in the nfl are bogus.

To clarify, I meant a lot of younger football players switch to focus solely on track (late in HS, early in college). Agreed that NFL players are slow in contrast.

Chris Johnson still pushing the delusion he is faster than Bolt

what was Johnson's 40 time? like 4.2?

since bolt starts slow it might be closer than you think

[Br0nxer]

probably can't catch

1 route across the middle and it would be a wrap. he would get his fukkin lights turned out

so a bunch of 5'9 wideouts who weigh prolly 160 can play in the league but Bolt if he trained for a couple years can't? Right....

Except that 4.2 is not real.

Did you see Bolt today in the 200m? Was great of the start.

Read and educate yourself.

no he couldnt

you have to be able to take a hit

the guys that play now however small they are have been playing for a long time and are used to being lit up

bolt's body could never take that punishment

[Chi_archie]

great read from 7 years ago.

can't just compare 40 yard dash to 100 meter races...

100 meter sprinters start lower and STAY lower, thus don't hit top speed until much later in their race.

in a 40 you pop up faster....

you can't compare Ben Johnson's "splits" to someone running a completely different race

BJ's "40 yard time" in that piece is inaccurate, in that they are measured differently...

track the clock starts at the gun, then the runner's have to hear and react...

in the football timed 40, the clock would start when the runner starts...putting the reaction time delay on the opposite side

if you give him 2 years to train I'm sure he's good for a few plays a drive. Bolt is gonna get lit by a 5'10 175 pound corner? No chance. Tackling is obviously a skill set but you guys are making out Bolt to be some kind of pussy.

The guy would probably bulldoze a NFL corner if you give him a couple years to train.

we will probably never know either way

[Chi_archie]

if i'm an NFL GM and I could pick any athlete from any sport to be on my team, and they HAVE to join your team...

I'd take Lebron way ahead of Bolt...

You're delusional. The first time he came across the middle he'd get cut in half, and yes by a 5'10" corner. Don't know where you're from, but ask anyone who's played against a top college defensive back/linebacker (much less an NFL player) how hard they hit. The thought of Bolt "training" for a few years then stepping onto an NFL roster is laughable. He's in the right profession.

And to answer the op's question, "he wants to live".

[onlooker]

If he was to be on a team, it would have to be the Chargers.

[Deep_Rest]

1 pass over the middle + Ray Lewis = splat

[tatommack]

Why would anyone ever send him over the middle? Just have him run fly routes and button hooks he'd be wide open everytime. Cowboys use to run this with Sanders sometimes as a decoy but Troy would just throw it as far as he could and Sanders would go get it. Pretty simple there's a Guy in the NFL that only runs these routes named Randy moss. Him and Brady made a living doing this.

[Chi_archie]

yeah the hitting is the part that people are missing

most football players slowly ramp up as they progress from youth leagues to HS to college to Pro hitting, and from what i've heard there is a HUGE jump in the power of hits in those last two progressions....

going from A-B-C-D-E-NFL is one thing

but going from nothing to-NFL is unpredictable

but I have a feeling he'd get jammed up at the line of scrimmage the first few plays with double coverage, and he'd et knocked on his ass2-3 times in the first 5 yards. Even at the expense of a few penalties, just to fok with his head

[MatI]

Bolt is one of the world's most famous athletes and has $20 million in endorsements. His favorite sport is cricket.

I don't think he gives a shit about the NFL.

Exactly.

The guy is from Jamaica. I'm not sure why he would give a shit about NFL.

[Coopertrooper]

As has been said, he loves his cricket, and money wouldn't be an issue for him. Would be awesome to go and watch him play a game in the Big bash, and would be insane if he took part in the half time sprint of the AFL grand final!

Is he even a fan of NFL? It isn't really worth wasting the time thinking about, because it would never happen.

Demetriou is apparently trying to woo him to be a part of the Grand Final...

In what capacity is unknown, but i think Bolt is holidaying here for just that, a holiday and no business...

[antifoil]

would rather have yohan blake if he has lateral quickness. he is built much better for a football player.
