5 Worst Athletes in the NFL Today

Each season, the National Football League features some of the most gifted athletes in the world plying their trade every Sunday in a dizzying display of speed, grace and power.

However, there are some players in the NFL that, for one reason or another, don't exactly fit the "athlete" mold (or accidentally broke it by sitting on it), and it's those players we'll "celebrate" here today by taking a look at the five worst athletes in the NFL.

Sebastian Janikowski: K, Oakland Raiders

Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski possesses one of the biggest legs in the National Football League, routinely drilling 50-plus yard field goals, and last September, Janikowski tied the NFL record for longest field goal by booting a 63-yarder against the Denver Broncos.

Janikowski's leg isn't the only thing that's big, however, as the rotund 12th-year veteran tips the scales at over 250 pounds, making him easily the largest player at his position in the league.

Thomas Jones: RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Running back Thomas Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs has enjoyed a solid 12-year career in the NFL, rushing for over 10,000 yards, scoring 68 touchdowns and topping 1,000 rushing yards in a season five times.

However, Jones averaged a career-low 3.1 yards per carry in 2011, and at 33 years old, he now has all the speed and agility of a wheelbarrow with a flat tire.

Brandon McKinney: DT, Baltimore Ravens

Reserve defensive tackle Brandon McKinney of the Baltimore Ravens is called upon by his team from time to time to come off the bench and plug the middle of the line of scrimmage.

And boy, does he ever, as the sixth-year pro tips the scales at a robust 365 pounds.

Or at least that what the scale read before it tipped over.

After that it just said "TILT."

Byron Leftwich: QB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Byron Leftwich has been kicking around the National Football League for nine seasons, playing for three teams and throwing for nearly 3,000 yards as a starter for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2004.

There's a reason why Leftwich is a backup, though, as he's about as accurate as Mr. Magoo with a Tommy gun, and has all the mobility of a picnic table.

Tony Wragge: C, St. Louis Rams

At 6'4" and 310 pounds, seventh-year pro Tony Wragge sits atop the depth chart at center in St. Louis, starting eight games at the position for the Rams in 2011.

However, the Rams allowed an NFL-leading 55 sacks this season, so apparently, Wragge and the other St. Louis offensive linemen are proponents of the matador style of pass blocking.

Ole!
