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

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

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

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
