LeBron James has no doubts he could have made a list of NFL players in 2011

LeBron James has previously said he started training for football during the NBA lockout in 2011 and was serious about a trial with the Cowboys.

The Lakers star, in fact, has a contract with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones framed in his office.

James revealed in a recent interview with TheAthletic.com that the Seahawks also offered him a chance to try in 2011 and that he “seriously considered” playing football.

“I would have made the team,” James told TheAthletic.com. “I would have tried, but I would have made the team. One thing on that, I don’t mind working for something, so if I had to try for the Cowboys or Seahawks, or if I had stayed home and returned home to Cleveland, I would have tried, but I would have made the team.

“I just know what I’m capable of doing on the football field. Especially at this age.

James was 26 at the time, although he hadn’t played football since his freshman year in high school.

He served as a high school catcher, sparking interest from Florida State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Florida, among others.

“Urban Meyer recruited me,” James said. “I think at the time he was the wide receivers coach at Notre Dame. So yes, I was recruited by all the major schools.

James never lost his love of football.

“I love sport. I watch it all the time. It’s right in me. This is how I grew up, ”said James.
