Admit it – when you’ve been watching all this college basketball for the past two days, there are times when you have said to yourself, “Man, that guy would’ve been one hell of a (insert position here) if he played college football instead.”
The first guy who should come to mind from this NCAA tournament in that vein is Baylor guard Ish Wainwright, a physically imposing (that’s the description from his bio on Baylor’s website) 6-foot-5, 235-pounder who would be an interesting tight end or outside linebacker.
If you’re a SEC basketball fan, you’ll remember when San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Bruce Ellington was an important player on the Gamecocks’ basketball team before deciding to give up the sport to concentrate on football.
