Could LeBron James play in the National Football League? Could he help the hometown Cleveland Browns? "If I put all my time and commitment into it, if I dedicated myself to the game of football, I could be really good," he said. Would he be a 6'8" 260 lb TE or LB? The real starting TE for the undefeated New Orleans Saints chimed in and Jeremy Shockey said, "ESPN is crazy to think he could even make a practice squad."

However, the team is flat out awful, one of the worst in a league littered with bottom feeding teams like the Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders and Detroit Lions. James is athletic and strong, but would the NBA's best player really make an assist for the Browns?


"I think he should come on down," Cleveland Browns, coach Eric Mangini said, smiling. "I know he's pretty busy right now, but if he wants to give it a shot, the guy is gifted. He's competitive and tough. I'm sure whatever he applied himself to, he'd probably be good in baseball or soccer or swimming."

According to the New York Daily News when quarterback Brady Quinn heard about James' football wish he said he would love to have a target to throw to like James in the red zone.

"That'd be great," Quinn said. "Tell him to suit up and let us know, we'll get him working."
