Football as the newest sport in the Olympics? Probably not in our lifetime, but watching the "redeem team" gets me salivating when I think of what the NFL dream team could do to opposing countries. I have made a mock starting lineup for what I think would be the perfect mix of star players and role players. Obviously there are no right answers so send in comments to see who would fit in well for Team USA
Tom Brady/Peyton Manning
I'm not even going to bother choosing one or the other; both are first-ballet Hall of Famers
LaDanian Tomlinson
JacJack-of-all-trades back who is super productive and seems to be respected by the league
Randy Moss
Is aArguably the most talented receiver in the NFL when motivated and had a record setting year with an elite quarterback in 2007.
Anquan Boldin
SupSuperb possession receiver, grabs everything that comes his way and is a brute to tackle with the ball in his hands
Hines Ward
<!- Great role player who still produces; blocks like a fullback and will do anything for the team
Kellen Winslow
<!- After watching him for a few years, I think he may have the surest hands in the league. He is exceptional in traffic and is an aggressive blocker who plays through injuries
Joe Thomas
<!- Extremely athletic, tough as nails, 23 years old; He has taken the title of “franchise left tackle” off of Ogden’s shelve.
Logan Mankins
AnoAnother mauler, Mankins is probably the best blocker for the league’s most explosive offense ever
Matt Birk
<!- Solid, team leader, smart; everything you want in a center
Steve Hutchinson
<!- Great pulling lineman who has been an All-Pro
Mark Tauscher
<!- Has quietly teamed with Chad Clifton to protect Favre for years
Jason Taylor
<!- Dancer or not, Taylor has been a dominating force for years and it doesn’t look like he’s slowing down. He is extremely intelligent and versatile.
