After hearing that LSU football coach Les Miles wants him to suit up for his team this fall, Tigers basketball star Ben Simmons made it known that he can play wideout.

But he isn't a fan of wearing a helmet.

Last week, per Jerit Roser of the Times-Picayune, Miles said there'd be a spot on his squad for Simmons if the basketball player can prove that he can catch. Assuming that's the case, the coach believes his system would allow the 6'10" Simmons to set the NCAA record for touchdowns.
