He'd never get off the line without spending a considerable amount of time working on those skills.
I actually don't think he'd be good even if he put in the time. He's shown he doesn't like it when the going gets tough, and there's not many things tougher than getting smacked around by a guy like James Harrison. He'd disappear after a couple of plays.

Agreed....there are so many great athletes that simply cant translate their gifts to football and certainly James would likely fall into that category.
Did he ever play football at any high level.....even high school? If not he would be absolutely lost in the nuances and verbage needed to be successful, nevermind he wouldn't be "the star" that he so obviously needs to be.
