WRs converted to S / CB? 🤔

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

Are there any instances of cement handed wide receivers converting to defensive backs positions, in the modern era of professional football?  Or are the skills of the roles just too different?

Yes, players have been converted in the past.

 

I’m wondering who the “cement handed” WR is you want to convert, or is it a general question?

Thank you both.  A name that didn't ring a bell, but a good long career in Buffalo, judging from the Wikipedia page.

General question.
