cardinal CB patrick peterson could be on there....but whats the criteria? there are probably guys with great measurables that arent great players so we dont really hear about them...unless you are mike mamula, an average player who has the best workout in front of scouts ever, parlaying it into beign a high draft pick.

Floyd Mayweather

good one...added

Usain Bolt

ehhh he would be high up there but should we really include sprinters who only get recognition every four years?

I have to give JJ Watt some love(no homo) ..that 55inch box jump cemented his overall athleticism imo.

I was so pissed when the Isaiah Thomas traded him for Tim Thomas when he was the GM of the Knicks. Dumbest move ever and they got killed in the first round by the Nets that year

Floyd Mayweather is way too low on your list.  Top 2 for sure.  Probably numero uno.

Soccer sucks. I don't understand why the rest of the world loves it so much. Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaalolololololololo l. A bunch of dudes in mailman socks and shorts. The only sport I dislike more is hockey. They fight all the time to try to make a bunch of men on ice skates masculine.

Wait, I thought bodybuilders could sprint and jump amazing with their ripped tree trunk thighs. With their incredible strength they could dominate the Octagon with simple ground and pound. Right as we speak the NFL is taking all the top tier bodybuilding pros into their ranks with amazing multi million dollar contracts.

all 10-15 positions should be filled by nba players names... the physical athleticism, endurance and toughness required is just unreal.

Lol no.Great stamina and obvious skill with the ball but as far as pure athletic tests he would get murdered by someone like Lebron James.

80% of basketball players are unathletic , in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king .

I remember years ago  Julio Iglesias Jr (5'9''  165lbs)   destroying   Robert Horry (6'10''  240 lbs)   in an athletic obstacle course race  on that Superstar show.

messi's height is a medical condition, so he is still on the hgh or whatever barcelona's doctors can get by fifa, as a needed medical treatment.

in that case since rampone for the uswnt soccer team is on test for her lymes diseases and has the speed of a 100m runner at 37 yrs old, she could be on the list also.
