    As 7 footer you are better off playing basketball in the first place with additional advantages of being less dangerous for your (longer term) health and that it's financially more appealing to go to the NBA than the NFL with better guaranteed deals, higher salaries and no positional discrimination.
    TE (which seems to be the most common former basketball players turned NFL players position nowadays) vs the 7 ft position in the NBA, Center, is a gigantic gap in pay.

    Naybe the reason we havent seen anyone since is that tall athletic people tend to be guided towards other sports that would benefit more from the size like basketball

      Or midgets wrestling much easier on them since they are so low to the floor.
      I do hope for a day when we can all tune into an entire Olympics of just midget competitions.

      Honestly, football is probably not the sport for super tall people. Considering they can break their own legs wothout help, not great for combat😬😬😬

    • @freshstart8540
      @freshstart8540 Před rokem +2

      It's because with that much height you lose mechanical leverage and the center of gravity battle..and injuries to legs that long is obvious...

    Was he the guy that was tall enough that the team had him stand near the field goal to catch or try to bat at balls that were low?

    Raiders had so many odd picks, Gene Upshaw came out of some small college and was meant to deal with the big linemen of the chiefs since he himself was an absolute hog
