The Odds Of Making It In the NFL

[Malta]

need god tier genetics to get into the NFL

No you don't, there are 1700 people in the NFL, that's way too many people to have "god tier" genetics.


Average NFL player - 6'1" 245lbs

Average NBA player - 6'7" 225lbs

The NBA is the league of god tier genetics, because the average height is nearly a foot taller than national average.

I'd say it's harder to make a career in the nfl once you get in bc of injuries and bs contracts.

In nba you could ride the bench for 10 years like Brian scalabrine get paid millions and win a ring in the process

It's harder to maintain a career in the NFL because like you said the contracts, and also in large part because the size of the players isn't so far out the norm like the NBA. He said it takes god tier genetics to make the NFL, yet there's 1700 people in the league.


Brian Scalabrine was 6'9 245lbs when he played, finding someone that size to do what he did is still just rare which is why he hung around for so long. Plus, Scal would give non NBA dudes work

My cousin got drafted to the NBA but that nikka like 6'10

If you are over 6' and dedicated your chances dramatically improve.

There isn't much skill involved in making the NFL compared to the NBA or MLS. NFL is basically tall men abusing horse steroids.

The NBA is taller men doing the same thing. I think like half of all 7 footers in the USA play in the NBA. MLS is just crap and anybody play there.

Scala looks like Kobe against any normal 6'6 thereabouts guy!

Dumbest post I've read in a while

I remember I had a cousin that was a football captain in HS. Breh got a full-ride scholarship to a Uni in Richmond and came back home However, I see him sometime still. Difference between Pro and Amateur. To me, it's not worth it and I don't even like the sport.

But don't NFL teams have squads of about 200 players?

You ever see those team photos? It's like, I thought there were just 11 dudes on the field. Who in the heck are all those other dudes?

You must really not know football to say such a thing.

You have to work on A LOT of things playing football just like you do basketball. A lot of NBA players don't even lift. You gotta not only lift as an NFL player, but then you gotta work on the fundamentals and actual game.

You also gotta be smart to play football, unlike what the stereotype claims.

 

[Vandelay]

Unlike those odds for the NFL.

Not saying you don't have to be ridiculously blessed genetically and talented athletically...but there's a fair amount of players who seemingly snuck on to certain teams from just being in the right scenario and/or program. 32, 53 man teams will allow this on occasion.

NBA you just have to be straight up great.
