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

Gerald Green...6'8"...quick enough to play point guard...can friggin' jump as high as LeBron James...

Again, who is going to guard this guy?

The reason he can't play in the NBA is because he doesn't have a position and he can't shoot.

Assuming he's not reeruned, I'm pretty sure he can catch a football and I'm pretty sure opposing teams would have plenty of trouble trying to guard the guy.

If you're good enough to be drafted in the lottery on athleticism alone (Gerald Green) and you possess the height/athleticism he possesses, pretty sure he could be a dominant WR...

You guys are acting like it's a rocket science position...Devin Hester plays WR in the NFL...and the Bears wouldn't let him return kicks his rookie season because they didn't think he was smart enough.
