A Bolt to the NFL

http://enigma4795.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/usain-bolt-200m.jpg

Tiger Woods dominates golf. But he has lost. Roger Federer dominated tennis. But then he lost. Usain Bolt dominates running. But he hasn't lost. Usain Bolt just will not go down. It's plain simple. Yesterday he set a new world record in the 200m with a 19.19 time. Sunday, he broke the record for the 100m with a 9.58. He beat his own previous two records. Literally the world's fastest man is breaking record by record, and many people talk about Bolt entering the NFL. Do I think it's a good idea? Yes. Look, the one thing negative about this is what if he get's hurt? He is 6'5", but only 190 pounds, and a skinny guy. One factor that I think will have an affect on his decision (if he seriously considers this) is the thought of getting injured. Nonetheless, I think he should at least give it a try. If he tries it and doesn't like it, he can go back to track. Turning 23 tomorrow, Bolt is young enough to stay active for a couple more years, whether it is football or track.

i dont think it would be fair if he went to the nfl because he would be too good and too fast for any defense

Everyone talks about Bolt going to the NFL, but has Bolt himself thought about it? Just because of his speed are people already projecting him as a great receiver? He sure has the name for it - "Bolt."

I cant help but think he is juiced. He's breaking records that were set by stripped juicers. Of course the NFL wont care.

No juice for this guy. It's raw talent - and speed. But he's a long shot for the NFL. It takes more than speed.

I agree with the fact that he probably can't do much in the NFL. Too much of a toothpick. Also, I don't think he has thought about going to the NFL, either

Keep in mind he is about 6 foot 5. When you combine that with his speed, he could be dangerous from the wide reciever position
