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 punishmentComment -

#44great 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 sideComment -

#46if 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.

#47if 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...Comment -

#51Why 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.Comment -

#52yeah 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 headComment -

#54As 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.Comment -

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