Ben Simmons, LSU receiver? Les Miles thinks it could work

BATON ROUGE, La. -- If that whole being the top basketball recruit in the country thing doesn’t work out for LSU freshman Ben Simmons, another Tigers coach, Les Miles, said Simmons would be welcome to try his hand at football.

Miles joked -- we think -- after Thursday’s preseason practice that the 6-foot-9 Simmons would make a dangerous goal-line receiver.

Saw that last night. Johnny Jones would have a heart attack

 

Pretty sure he was just joking. Miles has plenty WR's and TE's to throw to.

 

What's a TE?

 

Oops, my bad, I meant to say 3rd OT.

 

i thought you were a realist. that dude aint sniffin no football field.

 

Wasn't my idea, just posting an article. Seems Les can think outside the box at times, even if it never actually shows up on the field.
