For those that are saying he can't play both in the NFL, I'm sure they'd have thought what he did in college to be impossible as well. There are always outliers. There are always firsts. There are always guys that break the mold. I don't believe he can play every play in the NFL, but I think he can play most. He's something special. He's different. Don't say he can't, because so far he's proven all doubters wrong.
It's like imagining a pitcher being an elite power and contact hitter. It's simply outright impossible. You could bet your net worth to win $1 and it'd be easily worth it.
Wait ...
I don't really follow baseball.
I know Ohtani does both. Are there a lot that do? I think he's more the exception that proves the rule. Like, we know the ONE great player that can do both. Where are the others?
In baseball, players aren't on the field every play. The defense is out there. There's often a big rest period between running. Strikes, balls, foul balls, etc. The defense runs hard when the ball is hit to them. They shift. But it's not like they're going all out to cover a guy every single play. When you're batting, you swing. If you hit you run. Then you stand on the base for a while until it's time to run again. When you're out, you go sit on the bench. When you're on offense in football, you run or block every play. You're constantly exerting.
I just don't think we can compare 2 ways in baseball to 2 ways in football.
Hunter has to run all out to cover Ja'maar Chase for however many downs. Then he has to run all out to make plays for however many downs. I just can't imagine the fatigue isn't there.
