In general, are NFL players more athletic than NBA players?

What do you think Stockton was running at the end of his career?

Or Shawn Bradley?

I just looked at last years NBA combine results and laughed. Guys that people assume are great athletes showed, well, they just aren't. I'm a KU guy and Darrell Arthur had a 28 inch vert, and benched pressed like 185 11 times. What a joke. Darrell Arthur looked as a real athletic guy too. Then I went to look at wide receivers, corners, safeties, and tight ends in the NFL. I didn't see any that couldn't bench 225, not 185, 14 times or beat a 28 inch standing vertical leap. And those were the WORST guys.
