NBC Sports' 'Men in Blazers' Create an All-NFL Starting XI

NBC Sports' Men in Blazers were in the Super Bowl spirit following the New England Patriots' triumph over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night. They even formed an all-NFL starting XI composed solely with football players.

The surprise inclusion has to be Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork as a left-back. The veteran weighs 325 pounds, according to NFL.com, so he wouldn't be the most mobile full-back. 

Terrance "Pot Roast" Knighton of the Denver Broncos was selected as the goalkeeper. Seeing as how he weighs over 330 pounds and stands at 6'3", per NFL.com, it would be pretty tough to beat him if he came out to cut down the angle of a shot.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who happens to be an avid soccer fan, would be a tremendous defensive midfielder given how intelligent he is on the gridiron. Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was picked as the second central midfielder.

Gronk's teammate Julian Edelman and New York Giants phenom Odell Beckham Jr., who was actually on the U.S. men's national team radar as a kid, would be excellent wingers given their speed.

Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown and Cleveland Browns punter Spencer Lanning are the strikers in this formation. It's a questionable decision given what transpired between the two in their first game of the regular season.

Caleb Sturgis and Ndamukong Suh as the center-backs is also an interesting pairing, to say the least.
