Predator
Pretty obvious this is the guy who’ll be a fullback.
Fullbacks are fast and adaptive, blocking those on the other team from getting too far down the field and scoring those vital points.
Predator’s excellent eyesight and hulking mass would serve him well on the pitch. Plus those mandibles are ugly - the opposition would want to keep well away from them.
Jabba the Hutt
With a neck girth like his, Jabba would be perfect on the defensive line.
All he’d need to do is sit there and stop the opposition getting past him.
One negative: he can’t really move all that well (if we’re taking the original trilogy as an example, not the new Special Editions). But then, that’s what the Sarlacc’s for...
Xenomorph
This beauty has speed on its side.
A sleek, well-oiled little runner, the Xenomorph was born to be a halfback.
What do halfbacks do? They run (natch), and attempt to score.
Pretty sure nothing would get in its way, unless the opposition want a face-full of metallic teeth, a tail-whipping, or an acid shower.
Superman
Look at him. Just take a moment and look at him.
If that’s not a future sporting star, we’ll eat our left loafer.
The last son of Krypton has loads going for him: speed, strength, vision, resilience. He’d probably have to be given several handicaps before playing just to make it a little more fair (“No flying, now, Supes”).
Negative: easy to take down if you’ve got a rock of kryptonite in your jockstrap.
Spock
A mind like that? Duh, manager of course.
Unlike most manager/coaches, Spock won’t let the heat of a moment get to him.
There’ll be none of that red-faced flapping from the sidelines, or angry yelling in the locker room.
Spock will quite calmly tell you exactly how he’ll apply to Vulcan death grip if you lose the match.
Now there’s incentive. Clever lad.
