Which sport's athletes would be most successful changing to another professional sport?

Inspired by



and my recent laments that I no longer get to watch one of my favorite sports (sumo) on account of not living in Japan,  I'm wondering what class of athletes you guys think would be successful if they made the transition.

I've often wondered why the NFL doesn't get kickers from rugby/converted soccer goalies... you know, things like that.

Or why Usain Bolt isn't lining up across from Randy Moss.

Or why we don't bring sumo wrestlers across to be linemen/hockey goalies

American professional leagues tend to pay better than a lot of the less popular sports here that are bigger in the rest of the world... it just seems like maybe we should recruit more top-class athletes in those sports to make transitions, and I'm wondering

A.  if you think this idea is insane, and
B.  where you think your most likely targets are

I can't tell the difference between someone just stating a fact that is relevant to the thread itself but not necessarily answering the original question posed. Also I like to shit in my hand and rub it all over my chest and face and also I like to eat my own shit and sometimes I ask my neighbors to save their shit in a bag so they can give it to me and I'll have more shit to rub on myself and eat cause I like eating shit. brb the neighbor's dog just took a big shit in the yard I'm gonna go swipe it so I can rub it on myself and eat the dog shit.


Yeah I can quote you and change it too.
