Just from playing the defensive side of the ball. Yes, he also excelled at KR and PR, and was a threat at WR, but never marquee at WR. And yes, he had a solid baseball career for as short as it was. He could have piled up the stats if he was committed to just one sport. Great athlete for sure - just sucks at tackling. :)
True. To be fair, I doubt he ever got accustomed to much contact in HS or college... and even then, no one could seem to square him up in the NFL either. And it's not like the WR he was covering needed to be tackled very often either (when they actually threw his way). The rest was probably a wise business decision on his part, given the broken face he suffered playing WR.
