re: Most NFL players could not play in the NBA, could most NBA players play in the NFL?

most elite athletes in the NBA could absolutely be a TE or DE. Quite a few of them even played QB or RB in high school.
Now NFL players... basically anyone under 6'2" probably has no shot unless they are very elite athletes. Your best shots are probably the tall athletic DEs being an undersized PF.
But yeah, I would imagine that many more NBA players could play in the NFL than vice versa despite the NFL having far more players.
But 70%...no.

I can't think of a NBA player right now that could play in the NFL. Everybody says James. But he isn't physical enough to play TE and there aren't any 6'9 wrs. He would be taking a ton of punishment..

"Most" elite athletes could be TE or DE?!? Lol. The stupidity on this board is without bounds.
Guys like Brock Lesner and The Rock couldnt make a team but you yahoos think "most" NBA players could play TE and DE.
I dare say 0% could be a DE right now. Lebron has/had the ability to be a great football player...perhaps he or a few others could play TE right now. They wouldnt be every down players but perhaps pass catchers.
NBA players are athletic. If certain players had chosen to pursue football, they could have made it. With current muscle mass, few would survive for long. Current rules do make it better but many players cant even make it through the lane without falling and crying.
Football requires a certain mindset. You have to enjoy contact/be fearless. Just being big and athletic doesnt mean you have that.
Very few, if any, NFL players could make an NBA team right now. I would bet on zero (outside of publicity stunts).
Edited to add: actually, some NFL players could likely make a team as Rodman types. Only offense is dunks but there for dirty work. Rebounds and D
