So I saw the hilarious Mountain Dew meets Abraham Lincoln commercial and it started me thinking: based on personality traits and physical ability, how would our presidents have lined up? Here's what I came up with:

<style type="text/css"> <!-- @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } --> </style> piece of work. No. Name Attributes
QB 1 George Washington; Tall field general. Gifted athlete & decision maker


RB 35 John F Kennedy; Quick-thinking athlete. Sees cutback lanes
FB 20 James A Garfield; Led the way in combat. Could open some holes


WR 43 George W Bush; Excellent runner. He'll go on and on. Never seems to tire
WR 44 Barack Obama; Shifty complement. Development will dictate #1 job
TE 37 Richard Nixon; Slippery guy with sticky fingers


LT 21 Chester A Arthur; Tall, big dude to protect Washington's blind side
LG 22 Grover Cleveland; Big boy with ability to focus on what's in front of him
C 38 Gerald Ford; Natural position. '32-'33 Nat'l Champ & Michigan MVP
RG 13 Millard Fillmore; Wide body showed competence can accomplish anything
RT 42 Bill Clinton; Great feet. Side-stepping ability great for kick out blocks




DE 12 Zachary Taylor; “Old Rough & Ready” fought hard but was a lazy leader. (Reminds me of our DE's)
DT 27 William H Taft; 335-pounder to anchor the line
DT 17 Andrew Johnson; Seemed to live his whole life in trenches. Natural position
DE 7 Andrew Jackson; Mean. Killed a guy in a duel, fought in brawls. Very nice.


LB 26 Theodore Roosevelt; Thumper. Combat vet and boxing champ.
LB 34 Dwight D Eisenhower; Field general on defense
LB 18 Ulysses S Grant; “Unconditional Surrender” owns the weak side


CB 25 William McKinley; Intelligent and focused. Good attributes on an island
SS 16 Abraham Lincoln; Rangy and STRONG. Wrestler mentality in the box
FS 41 George HW Bush; Good fielding skills. Great at fighting with a coalition
CB 5 James Monroe; Fought with distinction. Rose to the occasion and was energized by combat



K 4 James Madison; Small guy but instrumental to the success of the franchise
P 29 Warren Harding; Some guy in which nobody has an interest
 
I wonder what W's wonderlic score would've been?

He's like the Emmitt Smith of Presidents! :hihi:

Should Monica be in charge of this team's cheerleaders?

Or should she be a newly hired FO intern to help around with the extra work the big time bigwigs leave to her? Maybe Marlyn Monroe should be giving "inspirational" help with some of the players if they need a good pep talk or two, or maybe three or four, or well you get the idea people.
 
Nice job. :)

Maybe FDR could be the GM -- obviously not an on-field contributor.

And Reagan had sportscasting experience... he could have a place in the booth!
 
William H. Harrison was drafted really high and gave a long acceptance speech but was then cut during training camp.
 
Shouldn't George W Bush be the cheerleader as he has experience at Yale. Also, wasn't Ike a RB in college?
