Chad Ocho Cinco tried to play soccer. He was easily the best athlete on the field and also the worst player. People that think Deion could simply play soccer and be elite are wrong. Messi, Iniesta, Xavi aren't good enough athletes to play almost any other sport and yet they are world class. Fagbregas was slow. Pirlo was slower. Neither was strong. They simply were insanely skilled through smarts, practice and instruction.
