Play him on offense. With his hands and body control he'd be a king sized WR. Same as Wade and Wall though he's not as fast as them.
The kind of hitting you give and take in football is an entirely different animal from bball though. Being physical in bball doesn't mean you can handle the contact of football. I think there are probably very few NBA players who could hold up physically in the CFB or the NFL.
Yeah, my thinking is he's got a defensive player's mentality much moreso than offensive - and he's definitely got a football player's mentality (I don't think Wall does.). If you're old enough to remember Quinn Buckner from Bobby Knight's heyday - he was the same kind of player - only a bit smaller. He was actually drafted by an NFL team that wanted him to play safety.
