OLB - Franklin Pierce
OLB - James Monroe
CB - Barack Obama (stereotype, I know)
CB - Calvin Coolidge
SS - Andrew Jackson (enforcer)
FS - James K. Polk

On offense, I'd go with:

QB - George Washington, of course. (Good size, good arm, command of the field.)
HB - George W Bush (Texas running backs have a good history)
FB - Grover Cleveland (great second effort)
WR - George HW Bush
WR - Harry Truman
TE - Ronald Reagan
LT - Thomas Jefferson (quick feet)
LG - Zachary Taylor
C - Gerald Ford
RG - Teddy Roosevelt (phone booth mauler)
RT - Lyndon Johnson

Nice. I'd also go:

K - John Adams (did plenty of good things, but people choose to only remember the bad things)
P - John F Kennedy (no reason-- it'd just be funny if the most notoriously suave presidents was the damn punter)

Oh, we should have a presidents versus foreign leaders game.

For foreign leaders we'd need to set a rule that they ran a nation of 30+ million people, though. It wouldn't be fair to allow every little tribe to compete for a roster spot.

Maybe John Madison returning kicks and punts? He probably had a good change of direction.

You’re really wasting Eisenhower on the DL. He was a star collegiate halfback for the Army Cadets before an injury.

Well, that part is easy. If Kim Jong-un can shoot 27 in a round of golf, I'm pretty sure he could play all the positions on a football field - at once.

For some reason I thought he was a big guy, but you're right. 5-10 and 172. We need someone else on the defensive line.

Should probably roll with Nixon. He's not afraid to do dirty things hidden from view

Clinton knows how to fill the gaps, though.

Putin regularly embarrasses professional hockey players as well.

I thought he shot a 19 … a hole in one on every hole except one.
