the biggest nfl player would still need to shoot 70% form three in an open gym whilst being able to go 1 on 1 against the best defenders
Antonio gates is the real life example of basketball players going to football fr
As a football player basketball felt awkward i could see basketball players being able to switch to football easier
Could even get steven adams to play the nfl too
Most small forward in the 2000-2010s was the size of nfl players. Bron is his prime was 6’9 250 with a 44in vert and explosive speed. He could easily be a top tight end
Former Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward was drafted by the NY Knicks. He played in the NBA for years, and was an outstanding player.
Iverson could play both I think?
Bron was actually good asf at football qb trusted him hella he could’ve went pro but most likely would’ve had a 50/50 career in the nfl
People change to football because of their body type and make it to the nfl, can’t do that with the nba Yall don’t understand, dudes have been in college and changed sports to play football and made it to the nfl on numerous occasions
The thing about basketball is everyone has to do the same thing as everyone else on the court, ( defend, score, pass ). Football has so many different positions that yes, a nba player can find one of the 10 positions and be okay at it
Every nfl player who even attempts to get into the nba is immediately going in as a guard which is the position with the most comp😭😭
Les talka bout DK Metcalf tho. 👀🔥
NFL Players aren’t tall enough. Myles Garrett is Steph Curry height 😂
Julius Peppers would like a word from UNC and the Panthers....
All these dudes are so talented. I’m sure some can do both for sure.
Both leagues have some guys athletically gifted enough to play the other sport. They either lack the skill or the size. It's not that deep.
That Shannon quote "we try to move a man against his will" is cold af
Ant would get cracked his first play in the game😂
Tyran stokes highschool football went crazy
Lebron couldve been the greatest TE of all time
