I'd settle for a Berrian type. But IMO even that will take years if it's possible at all.

DHB = Renaldo Nehemiah

Who the fuck is that?

Nehemiah worked out in 1982 for several NFL teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Francisco 49ers and ended up signing with the 49ers in a blaze of publicity and high expectations. During his three years as a wide receiver he caught 43 passes for 754 yards, a 17.5 average, and 4 touchdowns. Although he was part of the Super Bowl winning team in the 1984 season, he did not play a major role. His football career is deemed by some to be a failure – many think it represents one of the most glaring mistakes ever made by 49ers head coach Bill Walsh – winning Nehemiah a comparison to the track star Jimmie "Oops" Hines, who won his infamous nickname for his inability to catch the ball.

He was all speed, no hands just like Clank. Nehemiah was a world record holder in the 110 high hurdles.

Interesting.

Didn't someone try to turn Carl Lewis into an NFL WR?

I seem to recall that he was invited to work out for a couple of teams but I don't know if he ever did it. I hear Usain Bolt's name thrown around from time to time as a potential wr. It just shows how truly flawed Al's philosophy is regarding great athletes vs. legit football players. To this day the old man still seems to rate speed as the #1 factor in rating players.

Don't feel bad for the players. They're the ones getting paid. We, the fans, are the ones who you should feel sorry for. we continue to pay for this crap!

I give you more of the wisdom of DR.
