Looks like he should give up football and focus on track. Maybe if he works on it full time, he could make the Olympic team.
The problem with a lot of Olympic athletes is no one gives a shite about them but for two weeks every four years and only a very few multiple gold medal winning, record breaking studs (Bolt, Phelps, Biles, etc.) become big names. 99.9% of Olympians could stand in Time Square all day and no one would recognize them.
The only way I would even consider advising a potential NFL player to take up T&F beyond college is if he had world record upside, and this kid's fast but not in that category.

I would prefer this myself.
But I wasn't being serious about Achane quitting football. I think he has Heisman potential.

True story... I was blessed enough to have trained with, and get coached by an array of Olympic gold medalists. Only 1 is recognizable in his home country. And that's because UFs swim coach has been on Suriname's money 3 times
One of my former coaches won 3 golds in 84, is a wildlife officer where nobody knows his background... especially those he interacts with in the field.
