Why not pull players from the XFL or UFL or whatever they are calling it now?

Maybe throw Britain Covey into the mix. And Taysom.

Yeah, flag takes the physicality out and leaves you with nothing but speed/skill

You get an nfl qb, 3-4 nfl wide receivers and 3 nfl corners. No

Quick shifty guys would be better. A quick qb is better than a tall qb so

7 Britain Coveys would not beat most NFL teams. You can debate Tyreek Hill vs. a bigger guy like DK Metcalf. But the

And being big is not usually helpful in flag, just shifty. The NFL requires you

Sure it is. Being big is helpful in all sports, even the lower-contact ones like flag football

I am not assuming NFL players aren't shifty, but there are lots of shifty people

johnnybyu

Aug 21, 11:46am

There are plenty of guys “not big enough for the NFL” that overcome it with their shiftiness.

If those dudes want to quit playing NFL and focus on flag then maybe, but the

Insane. Flag football corners would be able to guard the NFL WRs. The NFL CBs would have no problem staying with flag WR

Why are there not high level D1 players beating them? Narfute posted the roster

johnnybyu

Aug 21, 2:05pm

…..high level D1 players play in the NFL.

Yes the level below that. Where are they? There are thousands of better D1

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. But this is honestly the dumbest take I’ve ever seen

There are lots of sports where being big isn't helpful, or at least being small
