Which MLB Positions Could Today’s NFL Superstars Actually Play?

During a recent broadcast of Fox NFL Kickoff, legendary baseball champions Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz, and Derek Jeter collaborated with analysts Charles Woodson and Julian Edelman to evaluate which current football stars possess the necessary skill sets to transition onto a diamond. The panel debated several gridiron standouts, with Woodson highlighting Patrick Mahomes for his family baseball pedigree and ability to deliver throws from various unconventional arm angles and platforms.

Edelman matched that selection by pointing to Caleb Williams as a potential shortstop due to his comparable range, arm strength, and quick hands. The discussion also brought up Josh Allen, whom Woodson viewed as a strong candidate for his size and mobility required to execute lengthy throws across the diamond.

Additionally, Edelman suggested Matthew Stafford could excel at a corner position by utilizing his pre-snap awareness and communication skills, while drawing comparisons between Ja'Marr Chase and David Ortiz regarding explosive big-play potential. Finally, Woodson introduced Jahmyr Gibbs into the conversation, praising the running back's elite focus and big-play capability following a recent performance.
