I'm guessing Mr. Dave Winfield could have done similar had he chosen. He was drafted first overall in baseball as an outfielder, but was one of, if not the best pitcher in college baseball.. and was also drafted by NBA/ABA basketball teams and the Vikings in the NFL (Vikes drafted on his potential only.. like when Rockies took Michael Vick).
Bummer in today's world of travel teams/AAU that there's so much more specialization, and so many the multi sport freaks get discouraged/weeded out earlier.. though there's still a fair amount of college football/baseball players running around.
