Serena Williams has the grit, Rafael Nadal has stamina and Roger Federer has the utmost composure on the court. Given their respective strengths, what positions would the top players thrive in on a football field?

Ahead of Sunday's Super Bowl, defensive end Ndamukong Suh answered the question: "If you had to fill quarterback, running back, tight end and kicker positions, who would you pick?"

The Tampa Bay Buccaneer wasted no time saying 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams would be a quarterback. "She likes to run the show," Suh said.

Now when one thinks of running down balls and outlasting opponents with endurance, Nadal seems to come to mind first.   "His change of direction, his movement on the court, it reminds me of a running back," suh said.

Suh also chose Federer as his tight end and Novak Djokovic as his kicker. The All Pro First team star is recognized as one of the best defensive tackles in the league, and was named the 24th best NFL player in 2015.

The 54th Super Bowl will see the Kansas City Chiefs face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Miami.
