Top 10 NFL Players we’d like to see in a Dunk Contest

After Odell Beckham Jr. threw down that dunk last week on Instagram, we started to wonder what it’d be like if the NFL held their own dunk contest. So in honor of the NBA Dunk Contest this weekend and us missing football already, here are 10 players in the NFL we’d like to see in a dunk contest.

Odell Beckham Jr.

Obvious choice

AJ Green

Has the frame of a shooting guard. I bet he can CRAM it. Here he is from high school dunking in a game

NBA Equivalent: Paul George

Calvin Johnson

Obviously. I mean, look at what he can do in full pads. Violent dunker.

NBA Equivalent: Shawn Kemp

Patrick Peterson

May be the most athletic guy in the NFL. 38 inch vert at the combine

NBA Equivalent: Gerald Green

Jordan Cameron

He’d have Blake Griffin as his coach and he can do this. The crowd always loves the white guy.

NBA Equivalent: Isaiah Rider

JJ Watt

So he can break the backboard and then eat all the shards of glass just because.

NBA Equivalent: Dwight Howard (both Superman)

Gronk

Because you know he’d be begging all the judges to give him a score of 6.9

NBA Equivalent: Josh Smith

Dez Bryant

Would throw up the X after every slam

NBA Equivalent: Tracy McGrady

Justin Gilbert

He dunks better than he covers.

NBA Equivalent: Steve Francis
