The OTHER NFL Combine...Defensive Edition

So we had some conversations about who would be a solid NFL Player from the NBA. We discussed the offensive side of the ball, now lets take a look at the ball hawking and pass rushing defenders who, from the NBA, have some unique talents that could transfer well over the National Football League.

DT- Glenn Davis (NFL Equivalent- Vince Wilfork)
The only reason I chose this one is because Big Baby is one of the biggest (Fattest) players in the NBA and could probably do some damage clogging up the middle to make it difficult to run the ball.

DE- Kawhi Leonard (NFL Equivalent JJ Watt)
Leonard is becoming a BEAST and with his size and speed, he could wreak havoc on any QB. Not to mention, those mitts jumping up to bat balls down like Watt does!



MLB- Lebron James (NFL Equivalent....Again, no one!)
This guy is such a freak he could play either side of the ball and would be a Pro Bowler! He is physical enough to help stop the run and take on blockers, and athletic enough to cover a TE or a RB out of the backfield. He, isn't, human!

CB1- Chris Paul (NFL Equivalent- Joe Haden)
To be a CB in the NFL, you need to have SWAG! You have to not only be physical and quick, you have to have that certain moxy about you where you KNOW you will shut down the opposing teams best players. CP3 has that pittbull mentality that is required to play CB.

CB2- Patrick Beverley (NFL Equivalent Richard Sherman)
Only fitting that I dislike both of these loud mouths, but they are very similar in their game personalities. Up-in-your-face mentality while also letting you know all about it is exactly how both of these guys play. I personally think both are vastly overrated...but that's neither here nor there. Beverley has the confidence (and mouth) needed to shut down pretty much anyone.


SS- Tony Allen (NFL Equivalent Kam Chancellor)
Chancellor is a one-man wrecking crew! Like him, Tony Allen is physical and powerful. His tenacity, drive and heart makes him a player that could come into the box and stuff any running play!

FS- Russel Westbrook (NFL Equivalent...None)
There isn't a player in the NFL who is like Westbrook...I don't think there is a human on Earth that is like him! He is on another level. I think that all 32 NFL teams are glad that Westbrook didn't try the gridiron over the hardwood. Imagine Russel patrolling the middle of the football field looking to intercept pretty much anything and tackle anyone he could...SCARY!

What do you think???
