Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt has already proved to the world he's the fastest human on the planet. His performance winning gold in both 100 and 200 meters, while setting new world records was simply sensational.
If he wanted to run for Prime Minister in his country, he's a lock. But could he run routes and catch a football? It was a question I posed to Texans General Manager Rick Smith.

"First of all, I think he's working on a pretty good career in track and field," Smith said. "Anytime you have an athlete with exceptional speed, its attractive to you." "But the thing is , you don't know if he can catch the ball, or run routes." According to Smith, Bolt making a transition to football is pretty far fetched, but he did say, "There are situations where track and field athletes would be worth take a look at."
Rick Smith is a very smart guy, so I think if there was any chance a Polar Bear could catch the ball and help the Texans win games they would find away to make it work.

As for Bolt, if he can't play football, he can always run for Prime Minister. Bolt will go for his 3rd gold medal on Friday night when he joins the Jamaican relay team for the 4x100.
