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

Way too high On both.

And nfl has nearly 4x as many players, so it will be much easier to make nfl
Bc of that.

nobody 6’10 and up playing in the nfl. And anyone a couple inches shorter would have to be able to have the frame to add weight to play as a lineman.

Stephen adams could make a solid DE in a 3-4 scheme with a more athletic pass rusher on the edge

Yes, maybe not almost every receiver cause hell there aren’t that many players in the NBA.

But I think if every NBA player went out for the NFL tomorrow virtually every starting TE is losing the starting job, not Travis Kelce. And the #1 WR for almost every team would be a former NBA player

Zion would be a great Tackle, I bet he could put on 70lbs in like a week

I think part of the qualification to play in the nfl, especially on the lines, is you have to be an insane aggressive mother fricker. And Steven Adams is probably the best I can think of in the nba that fits that role

Russ Westbrook could be a starting corner for sure

Some small forwards could probably make it as free safety

can NBA players take hits?

NBA players are only going to be fits for a handful of positions. Tight end is the clearest transition spot of the field. It’s where you’ve had scrub basketball players become elite NFL tightends.

Nate Robinson had the talent to be an NFL DB.

i think a lot of 1 and 2 guards over the years could have been great WRs

D Rose
D Wade
John Wall
MJ
Westbrook

Lol Kyrie quit on his team and was being a crybaby because he didn’t get to pick his coach. That motherfricker would hang up his cleats for good the first time he took a hit.

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.

"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
