If the entire world played football, what % of the NFL would be American

A spin zone on the topic that has been discussed a bunch. Everyone always asks “what if America’s main sport was soccer”? A much more interesting question is: what if the rest of the world played football?
There has to be some behemoths in other countries that are working regular jobs because they were too large for soccer.

It would probably be a lot like the NBA. Some big strong foreign white guys on the line. A few random white euro receivers. Maybe some black Brazilians, Africans, and black Euros at skill positions. Maybe some more Samoans in the league.
But overall, black Americans would still dominate the NFL. The NBA is like what… 80% American? It would probably like that in the NFL too.

Slightly off topic but there are 2 different American football leagues in Europe right now. They stream their games in youtube. It’s mildly entertaining

80%
Lots of white QB's from the same parts as the NBA European whites

Basketball is still not a primary sport in any country. There are plenty of blacks in the European countries as well, trust me.

I have wondered how quickly evolution has worked here with football players in the US. Just a short time ago, 6’3 285 was an intimidating LT, now that’s considered undersized.
Same goes for the NBA…. Charles Barkley was able to dominate his era at 6’6”

There are a lot of big bodies in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Russia. I could see some of those athletes being pretty common place playing the O lines and D lines.
