You know how Adama Traore looks weird as gently caress on the pitch some times because he’s so big? He’s 5’10” 190. That’s the type of frame you need to start with to be 210” with functional muscle and retain speed/agility.

Lukaku is 6'3 230 with decent speed, that's a pretty good profile for quite a few positions.

I didn’t realize there’s actually a AFL player to American football pipeline, particularly for punters. Makes sense though after watching some Aussie rules. There’s academies to turn AFL players with booming kicks into special teams guys and send them to college in the US. Quite a few have made it to the NFL over the years. The pay is better and kickers can play basically forever as long as their body holds out.

Do football teams usually make the sign of the cross? That alone makes me say The Notre Dame Fighting Irish The weird eating chicken as part of the advert makes me think just any Midwestern gridiron team. There's a ton to choose from.

Honestly that's kind of small for the NFL for the positions you could imagine him in. I'm struggling to think of footballers who could realistically make a go of it in american football, its such a physical sport that realistically you can do it without having the technical skills, but you really do need to be a freak of nature of the sort that you just don't tend to see on a football pitch at high levels considering how correspondingly technical football is where american football is physical; there just aren't that many people who have the athletic and physical talent necessary to walk onto an NFL team, and the venn diagram of those people with people who have mastered football technique enough to make it to, say, the prem is almost zero. The only one I can think of who might have a chance off the top of my head is Erling Haaland, but even then I would say while his speed and size are incredible for a footballer, they're probably not quite enough to dominate in the NFL (which you would need to be able to do being so far behind on technique having not grown up playing the sport). 100% there are a bunch of people who could probably be good kickers with a bit of practice, and maybe a few speedsters who could be special teamers. Most likely gunners as that favours straight line speed over change of direction which is also what football tends to want from pacey players. The other positions where you can get by on athleticism alone all tend to be on the d or -line, and there just aren't any footballers close to big enough for that.

Without the lifetime of training yeah nobody is going to compete at that level. As an aside, ~10 years or so ago the Northampton Saints (former rugby union European Champions, stacked with England internationals at the time) had a pre-season event where they invited people to just turn up and have a go at some challenges against the first team. Akinfenwa was playing for Town at the time and turned up and absolutely rinsed them at anything physical, and wasn't far behind them on speed either.

Akinfenwa was playing for Town at the time and turned up and absolutely rinsed them at anything physical, and wasn't far behind them on speed either. It is kinda possible for the right athlete, a British discus champion, Lawrence Okoye, made it onto the 49ers practice squad a few years back with absolutely zero gridiron experience. It just requires someone so physically gifted that a team is willing to take a punt and see if they pan out, it happens every now and again. That said, it really does require an athlete so exceptional and specific (depending on the position) that it is really rare, and the likelihood of that overlapping with someone who also has the footballing technical ability to have made it to the highest level of football is pretty unlikely. Of course in that scenario it would also probably be an extremely inadvisable career move given that they could probably have a much more lucrative and secure career by just staying in football than taking the chance on making it in the NFL, especially when you factor in the increased risk of injury.

Lol what? Desean Jackson is 5'10. Deebo Samuel is 6'0. Alvin Kamara is 5'10. I think these discussions are universally stupid, because the skillsets for the sports are completely different. But this idea that NFL players are of such unique size is dumb as gently caress.

joepinetree posted:Lol what? Of course not all NFL players are freakish giants, but my whole point is that you had better be if you don't have the technical skillset. Pacey footballers don't typically have the change of direction or strength and durability to play RB, and probably don't have the hands to play WR. Maybe some would have a chance as a Desean Jackson-esque deep threat; that is the one position where a few professional sprinters have turned the heads of NFL teams over the years, but it has almost never worked out because they don't have good enough hands and the skillset still requires speed over a shorter distance than they are used to. But yes I will agree that this is stupid and we are stupid.
