Who IS.... 

Post#1 » by CJ_18 » Sat Sep 8, 2007 5:11 pm

The most physically gifted player in the NFL? Athletic Wise, depending on their size? (Speed, Jumping, Strength, Agility, Arm Strength/ Accuracy, Quickness, Explosive-ness,etc)

And make your Descision based on the players size/ build... like, dont tell me the RB, who is 5'10, 180 lbs is the fastest b/c he runs a 4.3 while the 6'5, 270 lbs LB who runs a 4.5.

I believe, based on all the requirements, the most athletic player is Reggie Bush.

They are probably 25 guys who can make a great case... but who do you think?

Now: TO, Reggie, Plaxico Burress (Yes I said Plax), Vernon Davis, Peppers, Terrell Suggs, Merriman.

If it were 3-4 years ago, I probably would have said either Randy Moss or Tony Gonzalez.

uhh, that's a big difference in speed. Can you imagine if Merriman ran a 4.3 or Calvin Johnson running 3.15?

Does Mike Vick count? Because he's the correct answer if he does.

Vernon Davis, Julius Peppers and it's not that close.

Calvin Johnson for honorable mention.

I say it will be Calvin Johnson by a mile in a year or two. As of right now the most physically gifted goes to Julius Peppers.

He might not be close to being the player Julius Peppers is, but Mario Williams is very close to him in terms of athleticism.
