Great point, and let’s not forget what a ferocious hitter he was when he played defense. He easily could have been an awesome defensive secondary player. I will never forget the play early in the Super Bowl against Seattle when TB12 threw an interception in the red zone and Jules took out the cornerback who intercepted the pass with one of the most ferocious tackles I have ever seen. If I remember correctly, he broke the guys arm, tore his ACL, and concussed him all on the same hit. Then for the rest of the game, Jules abused the guy who replaced the guy he took out.
