Quote:I doubt it.

 

If a player isnt good enough to win a starting role at the position he's played his entire life, then what makes you think he'll be a great success trying a different one?  I mean anything is possible I guess but the odds are against you.  I think its very different when you have an already gifted athlete like JJ Watt for example he could probably play any role if you gave him enough reps and training at it.  Kind of like singers that can sing a phone book, great athletes can just play.

I remember Randall Cunningham or Joe Theisman punting abilities (Randall had one for over 90 yards), and many others that could play other roles in some cases better than most starters.
