In an alternate universe, some players on the Denver Broncos show their true athletic potential and play on the other side of the ball.

Time for a fun article, gosh darn it!  The Denver Broncos stress me out, so it’s time for stress-free content. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should know that one of the most well-known athletes in our sports landscape is Shohei Ohtani.

Ohtani has emerged as a truly special player who can hit for power and be an effective pitcher, something the MLB has rarely seen.

He recently made MLB history by starting the All-Star Game for the American League as a pitcher as well as batting leadoff as the designated hitter. He competed in the home run derby and is the first player to ever compete in the derby and pitch in the All-Star game.

In spirit, I’d like to take a stab at a few Denver Broncos players I think could play the opposite side of the ball.

In all seriousness, I do believe some NFL players can be effective playing on the other side.  We’re talking about some of the best athletes in the world, and many of the traits they need for their current position can be applied to a different position.

Let’s get started.
