World’s Fastest Man Ready to change sports?

Justin Gatlin, the Gold medal winner in the 100 meter dash at the 2004 Summer Olympics, tried out yesterday for the Houston Texans. Gatlin attended Tennessee but never played football there. He is currently serving an 8 year ban from track and field. Gatlin would not be the first to jump from track and field to the NFL. One other track and field star who made the leap to the NFL is University of Maryland Graduate Renaldo Nehemiah, who played for the 49ers for 3 years and was part of their 1984 Super Bowl winning team. Nehemiah also happens to be Justin Gatlin’s agent.
