From a purely fitness : endurance, agility, cardiovascular point of view, scientifically speaking football (or soccer if you are american) is the fittest sport in the world and logic will therefore dictate a football/soccer team will be the most athletic unless your definition of athleticism only involves jumping and how physically fit they look. A sport where they are constantly running and covering every blade of a full length pitch almost non stop for 90 mins with only 15 mins break in between and you are only allowed three substitutions per team which is also permanent.

My guess will be the 2003 arsenal squad that featured top athletes like Henry, Wiltord, ashley cole, Viera, Pires, Kolo toure, reyes etc pure pace, power and stamina.

That's not really athleticism tho. That's more fitness and endurance based. True athleticism is rated in speed, strength, agility and leaping ability. I'm not saying soccer players aren't good athlete's. But a person who is ridiculously strong, fast and can leap out of this world is more rare than a person with great stamina.

Big Wr's, Small Forwards and Tight ends>>>

I'll put Julio Jones, Lebron and Gronk over any soccer player athletically.
