Compared to basketball, soccer or even a rugby endurance is not that important in football.
Is endurance really important in football?

endurance matters in all athletics more in some than in others obviously
even in sprints all else being equal the motherfukker with deeper gas tanks is gonna get his first*

Gonna edit because I misread the title, yes it is important. Especially considering you aren't running around In a t shirt and shorts
yeah you need endurance
run the play, get back to the huddle, get back lined up, then run a new one, repeat
^that cycle will repeat multiple times in minutes, and them huddles never last long enough
can be just as bad on D, sometimes worse

yes
not as much as in soccer or rugby obviously, because a lot of football is about strength, but still you need to have a lot of endurance
you see linemen and linebackers stand with hands on their hips in the end of games while offenses run no-huddle, very often.

since offensive players know what play will be ran, they can estimate and ration their physical effort on some plays.
as defenses are purely reactive, no way for them to do so
for example, a WR running a purely decoy go route to free up space on his side of the field, can afford to not run top speed or to have some sloppy techniques. barring some unexpected shyt, the ball is not going to him.
the corner guarding him has no such knowledge or advantage. he has to run full speed or he runs a risk of giving up a long TD. the only way he knows the ball is not going to his guy is if he has a high iq, and can read the WR/QB, which is extremely hard to do
part of why jerry rice was so great he ran all of his routes with about same speed and precision at any point in the game, and that caused defensive backs a LOT of problems
loved hearing about his legendary workouts

yep. rice was never a burner, yet teams would have all sort of problems catching up after hed get the ball
