But 80% of NFL players are like catchers and first basemen, or slower.
I tend to think of James as brilliant in all things, but his thoughts on football are ridiculous. It makes me wonder if he has a bit of the baseball snob who sneers at the brutality of football in him. The NFL is littered with Nth degree power/speed athletes. James is right that almost all athletes if they tried baseball would FAIL, but how many MLB's would be *dead* after an NFL game? David Eckstein is what a 5'6" guy can look like in MLB, Darren Sproles is what a 5'6" guy *must* look like to suceed in the NFL. Sproles is a mutant, but he's far from the only example.
