Look, if the guy is good enough to contribute on both sides of the ball then there's no good reason not to put him out there a few plays. Especially if we keep getting the "production" we're getting at WR.

If he couldn't contribute at a high level or if it would take away his stamina and ability to finish games, then no. But I see that more of a WR skill question than an athletic one (I do think he has the stamina for it, he's an elite among elites.)

I don't buy in to the "risk" excuse. Anyone can get injured on any play, including celebration or non-contact activity.

As long as he can contribute without taking anything away from his defensive game, no problem.

There is zero chance of this happening today. Kids are put into 1 sport way too much. They focus year round from high school and sometimes even earlier. Most of them play 1 position. They focus solely on that.

It hurts them because they can't adapt. They don't know how to play anything else. They have skilled athletic abilities, but too many are too focused and hurt their overall ceiling. If a DB understands how to play WR, they will understand how to better play CB. If they know how to play S, they will know where the holes in the defense are and what routes beat it.

Some players aren't capable mentally of it and others never do it.
