After Qb it is catcher, if they are the type who manages the pitchers well, got to be up on the batters and the 8 pitchers that might get in any given game.

Sherman isn't off by much if at all

Any sport or position that it's ok to fail 60 to 70 percent of the time can not be at the top.
Fighting you have to be focused for the whole fight or you are getting knocked out.
NFL QBs have to know all the plays and where everyone on offense is gonna be and anticipate where the defense is gonna be.
I am surprised no one said Golf.
NASCAR drivers have to be focused for the whole race.

Sure about that @RSherman_25? 43 racecar drivers at 200mph inches from each other takes it to a whole new level.
Not sure how anyone can argue. The tweets in the OP are mostly about mental strength, not preparation.

Only average boxers have to be mentally prepped

Well you can die a little easier going 200 mph than you can keeping another guy from catching a ball. That's pretty mental

That falls way more in the "I have to be really damn focused so I don't kill myself" as opposed to learning a playbook, studying opponents tendencies, and creating gameplans

This.
The stress of racing in the packs at Daytona/Talladega alone has to be through the roof. Every lap.

Focused, yes, but NASCAR teams also have gameplans/strategies that have to be adjusted on the fly (at 160-200 mph). Snap decisions that usually affect the rest of the race.
They also have to know other driver tendencies, ever-changing track conditions, be wary of rival team drivers, etc.

Tennis, track, distance running, cycling and weight lifting.

Meh.
Still say football easily wins the argument. Strictly speaking about mental preparation, as in what it takes to get yourself ready for a game and adjust on the fly in game, I just don't see that level anywhere else except maybe basketball.

Preparation: football. So much strategy involved with a game on many levels.
Mental strength: golf. most humans have the basic physical abilities to do most golf shots. To be able to do it on demand on a consistent level is very impressive to me.
Tennis: you can overpower your opponent.
Basketball: your taller faster etc than your opponent. You win.
Baseball: you fail 2 out of 3 times and you are a hall of famer
I could go on.

My bad, I wasn't really trying to place one over the other. I think it's a silly argument. Different kinds of preparation, and tbh, none are a cakewalk at the professional level.
The intricacies of american football are mind-boggling for even some of the best players, much less laypersons
Truly incredible the prep they go through every week. quote:

Basketball and hockey have gotta be up there.

I agree with most on here that individual sports require the most grit. I would say golf has the highest percentage of mental fortitude, though.

Those replies, and some in here are terrible. All he said was football players do more homework, which is probably true. He said nothing about mental toughness, and for those that took it like that all I can do is laugh at them. Tennis and Golf requires mental toughness Sure that's true to a certain degree, but none of the traditional sports are any comparison to the various boxing/fighting sports. To keep fighting when you're literally, not figuratively getting your arse beat seems like it requires a lot more mental toughness.
