re: Austin Rivers on NFL being easier than the NBA

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.

I think if you took athletic guards from the NBA and had them do a 40 training regime for a few weeks (like for the NFL combine), their 40s would blow people away.

If you just dropped them, maybe. I think there are plenty strong enough for WR or CB, though.
However, like I said above, it's easier to put on 10-15 lbs of muscle than grow 4-5 inches. There just isn't a large population of guys in the NFL who even have a chance, to make this conversation even.

It’s dumb to take Austin Rivers seriously in anything
