Actually there are some positions in pro football, defensive end and tackle being two of them, where god-given talents like acceleration, strength, etc are such big assets that Brock Lesnar might even have a chance to make a comeback.
I guess we're all not old enough to remember when the NFL took to track stars as wide receivers and just had them streak down the field as fast as possible and run under passes...they were pretty darn successful for a while too. Then DBs started getting faster and faster, so that window closed up. You don't have to be a genius to play DE (god look at Simeon Rice) and you don't have to be all that football savvy. It does help a bunch though if you're a freak of nature.
If Tony Dungy once tried to sign him, an still likes him, I think there could be something there. Probably not for the Phins though.
