Which NFL position would each Miami Heat player play?

Dewayne Dedmon – Offensive lineman

Dewayne Dedmon would make a great offensive lineman. He plays with great intensity and wouldn’t let any defenders by very easily.

He’s 7-0 tall and 245 lbs, so he certainly has the build to be an O-Lineman. If he could put on a few more pounds, he would be a force to be reckoned with.

PJ Tucker – Linebacker

PJ Tucker would be the player in the middle of the field calling the shots and making plays. He’s a defensive beast, and that skillset could end up translating to the football field.

At 6-5 and 245 lbs, Tucker has great size for the position. There aren’t a lot of people who would want to see him running at them full force.

Victor Oladipo – Cornerback

Victor Oladipo has great hands, is super quick, and plays elite defense in the NBA. All of these traits seemed perfectly matched up with those of a cornerback.

He has the speed, height, and hands to defend passes against wide receivers. If he were to be on an NFL roster, this position seems like the perfect fit.

Tyler Herro – Wide receiver

Tyler Herro just seems like the type of person who would thrive as a wide receiver. He’s super flashy and would be dancing every time he scored a touchdown.

At 6-5, he would be a very tall, very fast wideout in the NFL. Herro would make a great slot receiver in the NFL as long as he can prove he has the hands to do so.
