and I would guess less than 20% played high school football
I would bet the opposite. I'd say probably about 30-50% at least played high school football.
These guys are all elite level athletes. Elite athletes very rarely play 1 sport growing up. Look at all the guys in the NBA, NFL, MLB, a good bit played at least 2/3 of the big 3 in highschool. If not that, then then likely ran track.

Naw sports are highly specialized these days, usually before they even get to high school.

And higher percentage of players played basketball growing up and probably still do to stay in shape and have fun. I would bet a high number of NFL players have played basketball multiple times in the last year and very low # of NBA players have touched a football in years.
