Kings' DeMarcus Cousins dominates as a running back in Madden 17

Ever wondered how 6-foot-11, 270-pound Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins would fare on a football field?

Thanks to the Olympic gold medalist'sNBA team, any doubts about the big man's gridiron talents can (sort of) be put to rest.

The Kings took to EA Sports' Madden NFL 17 and made No. 15 into a running back for his favorite NFL team, the Oakland Raiders. They then matched the team against the NewOrleans Saints -- the actual Week 1 matchup for the two teams.

From there, the video-game version of Boogie proceeded to break league records.

According to a post on the team site, the two-time All-Star put up 382 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns in the game, leading the Raiders to a 45-6 victory.

Of course, this is astretch forwhat the NBA star could do in the NFL. But if we've learned anything from athletes such as Tim Tebow, taking a crack at multiple sports at the professional level definitely isn't impossible.
