NFL Players are overrated when it comes to "toughness" and athleticism.

I am already in usa had a friend who came from my country to playing kicker could have played any other position one time it was in local newspaper at kick off caught up to returner and prevented a touchdown. And he played football for less then 2 years and in that time with limited practice played American football and we also together tried out for local soccer team and we did not make it. Guy in less then 2 years mastered American football and would be in nfl if that black guy was not fired they are who they were

Just about every kicker in the NFL has a soccer background, because the only requirements for that position are to be able to kick accurately and far. I’m willing to bet the life of everyone I know, that not a single kicker can play another position in the NFL other than kicker. If you consider that mastering American football, than you don’t know the first thing about the game. But hey, NFL teams hold tryouts every week during the season. Go for it lmao.

Should lock this thread already. Got delusional idiots thinking they can actually play in the NFL

 

[YourBoss]

Well they have speed and power. However they have literally zero requirement for stamina. Also they are all juiced up.

Even for speed and power it is nothing special compare it to soccer or track or international power lifting or.olympic wrestling or lifting or mma rugby even in speed and power it is nothing special compared to other sports

[codfather]

So there is ....ONE,,,,soccer player who might have been able to run a 10,28 100m. What about there has been at least 30 NFLers who have an sub 10.28 aren't you getting?

You keep talking about IF IF they did this and that, I am talking about what was actually done.

Give it up, the NFL is far faster than soccer and rugby.

Kickers are very underrated because they are one of the most important positions in the game and people don't take them seriously. But no since the 60s or 70s they could not play any other position with the exception of punter(which is a somewhat similar skillset).

Really like I said nothing hard about nfl guy could have played TE was that fast and strong but he picked kicker

I don't neccessarily believe you. And if your telling the truth he is the exception not the rule.

In the 2 way era and a little after that it was different because the kicker needed to play a different position. Hence Groza being a left tackle and Blanda being a QB. But eventually kickers and punters became players who were specifically trained to kick and punt and who could do nothing else.

Guy was 6 3 225 could bench 225 and like I said caught a returner on kick off by running after him not lateral

You should educate yourself fanboy.

1. Linder, J. H., & Suggs, W. B. (1991). VO2max of college football players: influence of body weight and composition. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 5(4), 202-206.

1. Kusy, K., & Zieliński, J. (2015). Physiological profiles of male and female American football players: a review. Journal of Human Kinetics, 47(1), 283-291.

The average VO2max for a NFL player is around 45 ml/kg/min. For a college football player its even lower at 44,6 ml/kg/min. That is literally the average value of a healthy 25 year old men. So in other words the stamina of those nfl players is no better than that of your average joe. lmao

No clue what fica is. I just proofed that you are wrong about NFL players having any sort of above average stamina. So obviously you are the one that is clueless.
