Sorry Zips fans, it's just a promotional poster. Although plenty of basketball players have made the successful switch from basketball to football (see: Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates and Julius Thomas), LeBron is not going to be one of them. However, we have absolutely no doubt that King James would be a monster tight end if he ever decided to make the switch.

What you are actually seeing here is a tweet that the LeBron James Family Foundations sent out this past week promoting the University of Akron's game against Marshall. Over 2,500 kids and there families were invited to the game courtesy of LBJ's charity. Since we are Sneaker Report, we have to point out that Akron is actually sponsored by adidas not Nike, which means someone did a little photoshop job to make Bron's sponsors happy.
