I was thinking of who were the best track and field athletes that turn to football to earn a paycheck! After a little research (yes I love to research) I found some great information and decided I would created a top 5 list of who ran the fastest and who threw the furthest. There are some surprises in the information I found as well. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I had researching it.
