Who would you like to see play another sport?

I always wondered how any athlete would perform in another sport other than the sport that made them famous/popular. 

Gordie Howe as a boxer.

Tom Brady as hockey player.

etc....

Have fun............

Not really answering the question, but I’d really love to see NFL converting to Aussie rules football for a season. Drop all the linemen and most QBs. It would be all other skill  position players going at it full speed, non stop. The sport is incredible, and having NFL elite athletes playing it would be awesome to watch.

All of these answers are wrong. The correct answer is clearly Tacko Fall, Yao Ming, Shawn Bradley or Manute (or Bol) Bol playing literally any other sport particularly football or hockey. Or any sport that requires a low center of gravity. Or figure skating. Or wrestling.  It would also be hilarious and awesome to see them step into the batter's box and/or play outfield.

Iverson or Russell Westbrook as midfielders?

Strikers like Megatron, Julio Jones?

Kevin Garnett or Anthony Davis in goal?

Would be a long time before Ghana was bouncing the U.S. from world tournaments again.

I think the UFC should put recruiters outside every NFL camp to grab guys who didn’t make the final cuts. I think they are missing out on some tremendous athletes.  Obviously they would need a lot of time to develop. But some of these guys would pick it up with good training.
