This week marks the start of my first foray into coaching flag football. My five-year-old can't quite catch a deep throw, but he may have done just as well as the NFL players did against the flag football professionals a few weeks ago. Let's figure out what the best NFC North team would be - we're looking for a QB, a WR, a defensive rusher/linebacker, a corner, and another weapon. 

Kyler Murray

Murray is probably the most obvious player in the league. Not only is he a strong-armed QB with 4.3 speed, but he also has the height, or lack thereof, to do that weird squat juke that flag football players love doing. Taking him as the QB in a cinch. 

Justin Jefferson

Jefferson is also a no-brainer; his crispy routes will have any part-time flag footballer, part-time insurance salesman in the dirt. He also has the hand-eye coordination and foot speed to keep up with the other team and pull flags. 

Edgerin Cooper

We're going to get into homer territory here for a few picks. The defensive rusher is supposed to be someone who starts 7 yards back and then rushes the passer and sometimes covers. Who is a better rusher from depth in the North than Edgerrin Cooper? And why not give him the ball on a quintuple reverse on offense? See what he can do. 

Keisean Nixon

Here's where I may be fully in homer mode. Nixon probably isn't close to the best cover man in the division. To be fair, the division, like the NFL, is full of zone corners. Maybe you could say Jaylon Johnson should be this player, but I think the gap between them on offense is enough to make Nixon the guy. No corner in the North has two all-pros as a kick returner; we want everyone on this team to be able to take it to the house. 

Jahmyr Gibbs

Gibbs is the last player to make our team, as "weapon #2" and he would probably end up being the best player on the team. Set up a few play-actions with pump fakes to Jefferson and get it to him in the flat and he'll destroy any angle that the insurance salesmen will think they have on him.
