Ward was a heisman winner and easily could have played in the NFL. The rest of them picked basketball because it is the more lucrative career path. Not because they weren't athletic enough. If they can hang in the NBA they can play in the less talented NFL

You are talking about Florida kids. They suck at basketball. This is like some kid from connecticut talking about how great Badminton players are because that is what the best kids at his school played. Neither football or basketball are tough. They are both pussies compared to real tough...

If you aren't going to provide me with the info I asked from you. I am not going to supply you with anything.

I'll show you right after you show me some guys that weren't talented enough to be in the NFL switch over to the NBA to save their career.

We literally argued that point a while back, but I am not getting into that argument with you again. You were talking about this imaginary 118lb guards. How many NFL players are 6'6 with a 46 inch vertical like Jordan? Or are 6'9 with a 44 inch vertical like Bron? Most of the guys at NBA...

Its a moronic statement that isn't based on fact. That is why. No NFL player is close to atheltic as Lebron James or Jordan. Then again you are also the guy that thinks NFL players are tough and NFL players are good at fighting. So you clearly are incredibly biased. Next you are going to be...

Golf has significantly more barrier to entry than the other sports. So that is going to hurt them because their talent pool is very small. Soccer plays 100% are some of the best athletes in the world. baseball players don't get paid as much as the other guys because they don't get large...

Of course it is harder on the body. I am not arguing that. However, I do think it is easier to do that, then trying to cover Lebron James. More NBA players could play in the NFL than vice versa. Which is my point.

Combative? The guy started the combativeness by claiming I never played a sport. You aren't factoring in the fact that NBA Players need to be al that, plus being tall. The talent pool for the NBA is much bigger than the NFL. Way more kids across the planet play basketball than football. So...

Exactly, he is one of the most athletic DEs ever and wouldn't be close to the most athletic SF ever. You act as if he just randomly picked up basketball at UNC. He played basketball his entire life and had 1 good game, which happened to be in an NCAAT loss. The guy saw the writing on the wall...

You got no response so you responded with that *********. LMAO. If you think NFL has better athletes than the NBA than you must have an extra chromosome.

Peppers wasn't even a starter on UNC and had to walk on. The guy was not even close to athletic enough to have a legit career in the NBA.

You also coached down south where they suck at basketball and are good at football, so your anecdotes don't really mean much. My whole point, which you seem to agree with. Is these guys are the most athletic guys for their height. Of course a 5'8 guy is going to be more athletic than a 7...

That is *********. The average is factoring in Centers and power forwards that are close to 7 feet tall. Of course they are going to have very low verticals.

What are you basing that on? You are saying NFL players of equal height are more explosive than NBA players? I would be interested to see those stats. Plenty of NBA players could have been NFL players had they wanted to go that route. I can't think of a single NFL player that could play in the...

They are also a lot shorter, which makes a huge difference. NBA players are some of the most talented athletes in the world. Way more kids play Basketball around the world when compared to football. Even with the larger talent pool, they have a much smaller draft making it even harder to get...

They are a lot taller on average. So it is expected they would have a smaller vertical.
