Can Lebron James be a 2 sport Athlete?

When you look at recievers in the NFL the average height is about 6'1 or 6'2 being guarded by 5'9 cornerbacks. What if there was a 6'9 260lb reciever that ran a 4.4 with a 48in vertical? Lebron James is the king of basketball today only by choice because he also was an all-state reciever in highschool and could have easily chose football at the next level. The cleveland Browns head coach Eric Mangini stated "The guy is gifted,  he's competitive and tough. I'm sure whatever he applied himself to, he'd probably be good in baseball or soccer or swimming." No defensive preperation could prepare you to cover a person with this type of body and athleticism it is truly impossible. He is as fast as the smaller recievers and as strong as the linebackers and safeties. In a jumpball scenerio it would be an automatic touchdown every time especially if an accurate quarterback can just lob it high in the air. James is still young and if he ever wins a championship in the NBA I would not be shocked if he attended a NFL training camp that summer.
