NBA players are tall, fast, and leap as high as a lot of NFL players.
No. The highest standing vert at the combine for a nba player is 38. For reference there were 15 nfl players in the year 2021 alone that was 40 inch or over. Every year there's a lot of 40 inch standing vert in the nfl. When you're tall the anatomy of the human body makes it hard to run fast. Before you say bolt. Bolt is a unicorn, most top olympic track runners are 5'9 to 5'10. In terms of pure track stuff nfl players (positions like value speed like DBs) would run around nba players.
Right now they're loyal to TNT because they get paid by them.
