LeBron James News: Joe Theismann Thinks NBA MVP Could Play NFL Quarterback

 

Former NFL quarterback Joe Theismann not only thinks LeBron James could play the position in the NFL after his NBA career is over, he’d like to close the deal for him by serving as his agent.

Theismann told Fox Sports Florida: “I would love to work him out and also serve as his agent. I’ll go wherever he wants this summer. He could play another four years in the NBA before seriously trying the NFL. There are not a lot of 38 or 39-year-old basketball players, but there are 38 and 39-year-old quarterbacks, so there’s always time for him.

Crazy as some might find the notion; the reigning two-time NBA MVP apparently isn’t one of them. When asked by the media last week if he felt he could man the position, James responded “I think so. I have the ability. I can see and read plays. I study a lot, so I know defenses and things of that nature. So I would have been pretty good if I had decided to go for it.”

James played quarterback as a freshmen at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School before shifting to receiver the next two seasons on the varsity.

“I wouldn’t count him out,” Theismann went on to tell Fox. “He’s the most tremendous physical specimen in all of sports. He’s intelligent… he’s like the quarterback on the Miami Heat.
