Dodgers Centerfielder Joc Pederson Wants to Play in the NFL, and He Has the Skills to Do It
Many professional athletes played multiple sports in high school, but when they get to the big time, they could not continue to play other sports they used to love. This is the case for Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder Joc Pederson and his love for football.

The Rams replied with a highlight of Pederson catching a would-be home run, showing that they are obviously interested.

At 6-foot-1, 220-pounds, Pederson could do well as a receiver in the NFL, but how good are his skills? During his high school days at Palo Alto High School, Pederson, now 24, was a beast at receiver.
