I hope he gets the opportunity to play baseball along with football.  Two of my favorite sports memories were watching Deion play for the Falcons and Braves and Bo Jackson play for the Raiders and Royals.

Dude didn't even play ball in college, it's clearly a publicity move. Plus, athletes are much more specialized now, we're never gonna see another Primetime or Bo type player again.

Yup, Russell Wilson was drafted by the Rangers as well. He DID report to Spring Training but he made it clear from the start that he wasn't planning on being a multi-sport athlete.

Jameis Winston DID get drafted in the 15th round straight out of high school in the MLB, so I think he's the best shot you got at getting a multi-sport athlete, but even that's a long-shot in my opinion.

Yeah, well Russell Wilson was drafted by the Rockies in the 4th round  and did play a year of Minor League Ball in AA, just didn't do that well and ended up coming back to football. I'm not saying nobody could do it on any level but it just wouldn't make sense. Even Bo has said that he doesn't feel like he could excel to the extent he did in today's game.
