Breaking news: Mookie Betts is a phenomenal athlete.
You already knew this about the Boston Red Sox outfielder and reigning American League MVP. But Betts provided further evidence in his latest Instagram post.
Here's the 26-year-old trying his hand at wide receiver during a recent workout -- and completely breaking his defender's ankles on a post-corner route.

Wonder if Bill Belichick has watched this tape yet? (We'll give Betts a pass on his shaky cornerback play in the final video of his post.)
Betts also is a professional-caliber bowler, so we'll just assume he's awesome at everything he does until proven otherwise.
