Carlos knows football?

After being tackled by Carlos Correa following a walk-off single to beat the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve thinks their star rookie may have to take up another sport.

"I think if the Texans see that, they (are) going to put (Correa) out there," Altuve said.

Though he admitted the Astros wouldn't be pleased with him hitting the gridiron, the 20-year-old shortstop seemed open to the idea.

"I actually played football in Puerto Rico, but it's not big in Puerto Rico," Correa said. "But I just did it for fun. But if the Texans offered me something, I would like to try out ... I can play two sports. I don't mind that."

Though the lure of being the next Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders is appealing, Correa should be just fine staying on the diamond. In July, he became the first player since 1914 with five games of at least three hits and a homer in his first 25 appearances.

The June AL Rookie of the Month has an impressive 14 home runs and 38 RBIs in just 59 games and boasts a .286/.359/.537 batting line this season.

The last player to suit up in both the MLB and NFL is Drew Henson, who played eight games with the New York Yankees and nine games as a quarterback with the Dallas Cowboys in 2004 and Detroit Lions in 2008.
