For years now usually the top collegiate sprinters also have played on their collegiate football teams. If he can catch the ball, hold onto it and take a lick, this guy certainly can play a role in the NFL. NBA: No. (But back when there were like 10 rounds of NBA draft, guys like Bruce Jenner (more than just Mr. Kardashian--he was the the top track athlete of his time; and I am 99% sure he was drafted) were getting drafted in the NBA all the time, more-or-less as a gimick. So 20 years ago, Bolt would end up getting drafted in the NBA for sure.) Regarding football, Austin nailed it in post 41.

Hayes is one of the greatest WR's of all-time. And remember the Eagles were going to try out Justin Gaitlin a couple years ago. Speed in football is like height in basketball. If you have it, they'll at least be curious. @Big V — Bolt would have some crazy recovery speed.
