Usain Bolt
 

I wonder whether he can catch a football. Seems pretty unusual for the fastest man in the world to be 6'-5", 190 lb. Think of the possibilities - put a few pounds on him, spread him out wide, and throw deep. Could be interesting.

Of course, he can probably make all the money he would ever need just running, without NFL defensive backs trying to take his head off, so maybe going to the NFL wouldn't be the smartest thing for him to try.

He wouldn't be the first sprinter to go to the NFL.

Back in the seventies there was one....Bob something IIRC.

Can a runner make as much as a Football player?

Bob Hayes won the 100 meters at the 1964 Olympics and then had a great career with the Cowboys. I don't know how much football experience he had before going to the Olympics.

He is also the reason the zone defense was invented.

Renaldo Nehemiah was another sprinter turned WR. There was one more, played for the Rams I think in the 80's, but I can't remember his name. Ron Brown or something similarly common.
