Jerick McKinnon

Wait, McKinnon? The guy who is currently listed as a running back on the Vikings’ roster? McKinnon was actually an all-state quarterback in high school and spent some time under center while playing his college ball at Georgia Southern.

Yes, it could possibly work (but probably not) and he could still continue playing at the same time. Think of it as the running back being a modern day player-coach.
