Which is what?

That Lebron is some sort of demigod who can lace up cleats for the first time in his life against serious competition and automatically be better than people who have been playing football for 15+ years?

I wasnt talking about you. I'm talking about the people who state the obvious when this is a hypothetical thread. Ofcourse we wont know what LeBron can or cant do on the gridiron we are guessing here.

The pads thing is getting me. I bet pads would really slow down a 240 lbs man. I'd also imagine he's more lean muscle than the other athletes his weight.

He'd be better off gaining 50lbs and becoming a lineman

Yeah because LeBron's ego could handle being a lineman...

Re: Could LeBron James compete in the NFL?
Would LeBron dominate(Very doubtful) but, I think he could more than likely compete with average wide outs or receivers. I'm not saying it would be impossible for LeBron to dominate but, It's very unlikely IMO. I think his basketball speed is great but, football speed I really don't think he would be that fast. There is no telling what he would be able to do in a football game besides run and jump.

We don't know If he can catch consistently, If he's injury prone, run routes, have good footwork(And not basketball football), etc etc etc.

IMHO he'd be a pretty big project.

I think he could be decent, he is so explosive,quick, and just dominant in the paint in the NBA against bigger guys and i think that could make him a good WR. Also he has a great vertical so that would be huge
