Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles says he will revisit his track-and-field career should the NFL lockout drag on for months.

Charles, who was a track All-American at the University of Texas, participated most notably in the 110-meter hurdles, the 300-meter hurdles and as part of the 800-meter relay team. He says he has talked with Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson and Titans running back Chris Johnson about joining him on the track-and-field circuit this summer.

"Just try to get an agent, get a sponsor, try to get on with a team," Charles told ESPN. "Maybe I could sponsor myself. All I'd have to do is get an offer by a team that could get me running track because you know, football season, you don't know how long it's going to go with the lockout."
