None of them from either league could play in the MLB. But no one wants to have that conversation.

Because baseball requires highly specialized skills

None of them could play pro soccer, either, or tennis, golf, etc. for the same reason.

Simms and Florio were butthurt about this today. I think Simms' point was that for the most part, football guys have more specialized athletic traits (pure speed for WRs and DBs, for instance) and basketball is a bit more well-rounded (except for jumping explosion) and cardiac/endurance oriented. He felt most NBA guys wouldn't be strong enough for the NFL.
