Travis Kelce says LeBron James 1000% makes the NFL as a tight end: “His athleticism translates so well onto the football field”

LeBron James is one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. But if King James decided to take on another sport, American football specifically, his physical abilities would allow him to compete.

According to Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce, LeBron would have undoubtedly made the NFL and would thrive while playing.

“1,000 percent man,” Kelce said during an interview with JJ Redick. “His athleticism just translates so well onto the football field. Not a lot of — the one thing that I’ve experienced being in the tight end room in Kansas City is we’ve actually had three, four guys come into the building as basketball — from just playing like straight college basketball and trying to make the transition into the tight end room cause the skill sets match up so well.”

LeBron played football in high school
Although he was considered a basketball phenom in high school, LeBron played two seasons of football for St. Vincent – St. Mary’s High School and was once listed as the No. 1 ranked football prospect in Ohio.
