LeBron isn’t the only NBA player that thinks he could play in the NFL, Nate Robinson not only believes that he could but takes it a step further. Nate believes that he could have been an elite NFL cornerback. I think it’d be so great if the NFL let these guys play in just one game. I’d love to see it!!!
There’s no doubt that he’s athletic, but do think he could have played in the NFL?! Check out what he had to say about it after the jump & weigh in…

If he was to head into camp with his beloved hometown Seahawks, though, and vie for a job in a top-flight secondary featuring dynamic defensive backs Richard Sherman, Brandon Browner, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, how does he think he would fare? As he told Jamieson Welsh at Believe the Hype during a recent visit with the Nuggets guard, “I don’t know — I’d be pretty damn good, though.”
Just how good, exactly? Let’s hear the extraordinarily confident Mr. Robinson tell it:
If I was in the NFL, I’d probably be at least, like, the first or second DB in the NFL. One, two or three, I’d say, because [Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback] Darrelle] Revis is pretty solid, [Arizona Cardinals corner] Patrick Peterson is pretty solid and you got my man Sherman holding it down. It’d be a tough position, but the level that I was playing football at at the time, I was — you know, it was fun for me and it came pretty easy. […] And I only gave it a year in college, so for me, it’d be pretty scary to think about, you know, my future in football. If I really gave it my all, and stopped focusing on basketball, and gave everything I had on football, I’d probably be one of the best corners the NFL has ever seen.
