	Kenny Lofton. Not only was he in a Final Four, I remember him being in the Foot Locker slam dunk contest. How much bigger can you get than that?

	Renaldo Nehemiah didnt do too much in football, but would be a worthy addition.

	Antonio Gates? He played basketball at Kent State and not football. He went undrafted and signed with the Chargers and is now one of the best TEs in football. Julius Peppers? He played DE for UNC and walked on to the basketball team (was heavily recruited by Coach K at Duke). Pat White? Before college he was drafted by the Angels, but then went to play football for WVU. This list could be endless. Great quiz.

	Charlie Ward? Heisman winner who left football to play for the Knicks? Tom Glavine was drafted by the LA Kings of the NHL and chose baseball instead...

	Dave Winfield? He was drafted by 4 professional teams in 3 sports: San Diego Padres (MLB), Minnesota Vikings (NFL, Atlanta Hawks (NBA), and Utah Stars (ABA).

	Wilt chamberlain played professional volleyball at one point. Dave Winfield was actually drafted as a baseball, basketball and football player...

	Mark Hendrickson played several years in the NBA before becoming an MLB pitcher

	@MMayes Just a guess, but he could have been left out because it would take up a lot of space to list all the teams he's played for. To the creator: You should accept Didrikson and Zaharias on its own. You are getting way too technical.

	Tom Brady was drafted by the Montreal Expos. Michael Jordan played minor league baseball with the White Sox.

	How about Herschel Walker? Could have been an olympic sprinter, was an olympic bobsledder, is now an MMA star. Oh yeah, he's also one of the greatest college football players ever.

	I'd extend the years for Willie Gault to the present. He still runs and holds numerous masters records.

	Babe Didrikson's years are deceptive; she competed at the Olympics in 1932. Ollie Matson won two Olympic medals and is in the Football Hall of Fame. Also, there are a bunch of people who won Olympic medals in multiple sports -- a recent example is Rebecca Romero.

	For Bo Jackson, you forgot every other sport that ever existed or will eventually exist. Bo knows.

	Wilt Chamberlain was a track and field all american, a volleyball hall of famer, and a pretty darn good basketball player as well. Also, no Bullet Bob Hayes?

	dandan, the problem with that one is that Henson was equally terrible in both sports.

	neight:	Aug 27th, 2010 at 14:25 GMT		1 point
	if youre going to list people who made it pro in only one sport and college in another, you should probably include Chad Hutchinson, who wasn't particularly great at either baseball or football but was good enough to be a pro starter in both leagues... for the Cardinals in baseball and the Cowboys in football, two teams with the second-most championships in their respective leagues. That's better than some of these guys who were only really good at one sport and terrible in the other (read: Michael Jordan)

	Also, the title of the quiz is "Can you name the exceptional athletes that played more than one PROFESSIONAL sport" so college shouldn't really count...

	You could stand to clean up the clues, too. There's more ellipses than actual words in most of them.

	I made essentially the same game, but with clues, a long time ago: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Kicking222/MultiSportAthletes I've been begging the Sporcle gods to publish since almost the moment I created it- it's truly one of my favorite quizzes- but they don't agree, and since it's their site, I can't really argue.

	Not bad. How about Dave Winfield? Started on the Minnesota baseball and basketball teams in college and was drafted to NBA, NFL, ABA and MLB. Tony Gwynn was drafted in the NBA as well as MLB. Tom Glavine was drafted in the 4th round of the NHL draft out of high school. Terrell Owens played basketball and ran track in college. Just some thoughts.
