November 29, 200619 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2679967 What do you think about Gatlin playing pro football ? He has not played football since his Junior year in high school. He's 6-foot-1, 180-pounds and only 24 years old. From a curious standpoint, I would atleast like to see what he can do

November 30, 200619 yr I couldn't imagine him fielding punts, I'd think he'd get injured at some point. But could you imagine, if he found a seem. It'd be sooooo awkward trying to get a good persuit angle on him.
November 30, 200619 yr Author I think he has NFL speed. lol, maybe..... He runs the 100 meters in 9.76 seconds......Faster than anybody else in the WORLD
November 30, 200619 yr Aren't performance enhancing drugs banned in the NFL too, do you think he can stay eligible?
November 30, 200619 yr Aren't performance enhancing drugs banned in the NFL too, do you think he can stay eligible? He failed the tests while in track and field not in the NFL thus his bans or eligibilty remains good in all but track and field. If he can stay clean, and IF he can catch a football, then I think Gatlin could be a tremendous NFL reciever.

He'll have to be clean to play in the NFL too. He doesn't even really have to be able to catch a football. After all, Renaldo "Skeets" Neimiah played several years with the 49ers and he couldn't catch the.........well I'd rather not be banned, you know what I mean.
November 30, 200619 yr Author Gatlin has some time to work on his game because he's banned from sprinting competitions for the next 8 years

I mean I don't being off the "roids" will slow him down a whole lot, at worst he's losing 2 tenths and thats stretching it!!! so that puts him in the 10 flat for 110 meters, which is like 9.9 goal line to goal line at a minimum, no player in the NFL touches that kind of speed!!! I'd let him field kicks for my team anyday!
November 30, 200619 yr I thought this was Larry Gatlin from the Gatlin Brothers when I opened it! Showing your age, my friend. All the gold in California.....
