Shannon Sharpe and Davante Adams say NFL players are better athletes than NBA players: “It's not even close”
Shannon: “I think football players are the most athletic. They can jump the highest, they can run the fastest, they're the strongest, they're the toughest. If you talking athlete for athlete, it’s football. We vertical jump standing still. They get a running jump for the combine. As far as flat out speed and ability, oh no”
Davante: “It's not even close. The physical aspect is just one piece. Then when you get into the speed, they agile, but being able to move on grass is different”
Shannon: “Y'all got like four plays in basketball. We got 150 we have to remember. And a dude trying to knock your block off”
Davante: “These boys don't even be going to college for more than five minutes half the time in the NBA. I don't know how much they're going to be able to retain”
