It\u2019s that weird week between the conference championships and Super Bowl, which means the Pro Bowl is here. But it\u2019s not the Pro Bowl anymore, it\u2019s the Pro Bowl Games<\/a>, including a series of flag football showdowns between the AFC and NFC in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This got me thinking \u2013 if I could have any players in NFL history, who would be my ultimate flag football team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These contests will be 7-on-7 with skill-position players only<\/a>, so I have that many roster spots. I\u2019ll allow myself one quarterback, two running backs, three wide receivers, and one tight end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m taking flag football into account here. I don\u2019t need you to be big or powerful. I need speed, agility, and a heart that just won\u2019t quit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ultimate NFL Flag Football Roster<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Michael Vick (QB)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think this is a tough choice. There are successful running quarterbacks in the NFL, and then there\u2019s Michael Vick<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At his best, Vick was one of the most dynamic players in the league. He did things that nobody thought a quarterback could do. Vick still holds the record for the most career rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL history (6,109 yards<\/a>), his 22,464 passing yards and 133 touchdowns weren\u2019t too bad either, and that\u2019s all while spending what would have been some prime years in prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy selection \u2013 Mike Vick is my flag football team QB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gale Sayers (RB)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGive me 18 inches of daylight. That\u2019s all I need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the attitude<\/a> I want from my flag football players. If you see some daylight, you spin, juke, hurdle, and hesitate your way through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sayers is one of the best open-field players<\/a> in NFL history. Sure, he did it a long time ago, and NFL defenses have changed quite a bit since the 1960s, but he was a talent that can\u2019t be questioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a rookie in 1965, the Bears legend accumulated 2,272 total yards and 22 touchdowns in 14 games. I\u2019d like to see if that version of Sayers would translate to my flag football squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barry Sanders (RB)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Barry Sanders was a human highlight reel<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanders is fourth on the all-time NFL rushing yards list, and he did it in just 10 seasons. In 1997, he racked up 2,053 yards on the ground, the fourth-best campaign for a running back in NFL history. He\u2019s the only player to have more than one season ranked in the top 15 for most single-season rushing yards<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

But I\u2019m picking him for more than that. Elusive does not do Sanders justice. He was impossible to contain and liable to break any play into a sprint that a defender was not winning. In the context of a flag football game, Sanders would be deadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jerry Rice (WR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s just get him out of the way. The widely-considered best wide receiver of all time will not be left off my ultimate flag football team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-time Super Bowl winner, two-time Offensive Player of the Year, and 13-time Pro Bowler is undeniable<\/a>. His career mark of 22,895 receiving yards<\/a> isn\u2019t just the most in NFL history, it dwarfs second place by more than 5,000 yards. Rice\u2019s 197 receiving touchdowns<\/a> are tops all-time by more than 40. This guy doesn\u2019t just hold the records \u2013 he\u2019s still running away with them two decades after retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice is an easy inclusion. Next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Hutson (WR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever heard of Don Hutson? Maybe not, and it\u2019s reasonable if you haven\u2019t. He played well before the creation of the Super Bowl, and he played at a time when three yards and a cloud of dust was a religion. But for his time, he was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hutson finished his 11-year career with 7,991 receiving yards. That doesn\u2019t sound great to the modern ear, but consider this \u2013 he\u2019s the only player pre-1945 to collect more than 3,400 receiving yards<\/a>. Doesn\u2019t seem too bad now, does it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you want to know the real reason why he\u2019s on my team? Because his nickname was the \u201cAlabama Antelope<\/a>\u201d. I think an antelope would make for an excellent flag football wide receiver, especially if it had two arms and opposable thumbs like Hutson. I\u2019d also like to see how a transcendent player from the late-30s, or early-40s would get on now, and I\u2019m willing to gamble a spot on my ultimate flag football roster to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larry Fitzgerald (WR)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the intro, I said I wanted players with hearts that won\u2019t quit. Larry Fitzgerald is that guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fitzgerald played his entire 17-year career for only one team in an era when such commitment is uncommon. He rarely missed games for any reason, suiting up in all 16 of Arizona\u2019s regular-season contests 13 times and never appearing in fewer than 13 showdowns in any given season. He\u2019s one of the most beloved figures in NFL history for not just his on-field production but off-field charisma and charity works, too<\/a>. He was the 2016 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, he\u2019s pretty good<\/a> at football. He\u2019s second on the all-time receiving list, sixth in all-time receiving touchdowns, and the greatest player in Arizona Cardinals history. I expect big things out of him on my team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Sharpe (TE)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Sharpe was supposedly too big to be a wide receiver but too small to be a tight end, so he was drafted in the seventh round of the 1990 NFL Draft. He turned that into a Hall of Fame career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharpe is fifth all-time in career receiving yards<\/a> among tight ends and eighth on the position\u2019s list of touchdown scorers<\/a>. He used his size to become an outstanding receiving tight end<\/a>, and that\u2019s exactly what I want out of that position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been some incredible tight ends in the NFL over the last 30 years, but I\u2019ll take the three-time Super Bowl champion Sharpe over the rest. His role as the safety valve for John Elway and Trent Dilfer is perfect for what I want from my tight end in a flag football setting. Sharpe completes my team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
