I think wrestlers make the best athletes as far as football is concerned. They both look like they could be linebackers on any team in the NFL. Since the object of wrestling is to take the guy down to the mat, tackling shouldn't be any problem for them.

well Cole is trying out for o-line and Tommy for LB. there was a guy that came from wrestling and is having a great career with Pats on o-line: Steve Neal.
