The argument of NFL players not being great athletes (I am not sure if it was even said, but just in case it was), is untrue. Many players that play in the league are multisport stars to begin with. You have guys that, if trained properly, could probably be Olympic sprinters playing alongside guys that can lift trees out of their roots if they wanted to. The NFL is full of guys that could play in other leagues professionally if they chose that direction: baseball, basketball, probably rugby if that was big here. I have never played rugby, or really know anything about it, but I am sure that it is a tough sport in its own right. However, just because one sport is tough does not mean that another one is not.
