so with that logic they are in two different categories? trying to make sense of it is all. because I think football players are specialists too, depending on position

Certain positions are definitely specialists like the guys in the trenches, the QB or the kickers but the way I am thinking about it is a lot more football players are multi sport athletes in high school and college than baseball players are.

ya, football has positional players that have to be specialist. take the best athlete, likely a wr or db now and put them in any other sport.

I can take a shortstop and put him anywhere in the field because of his athleticism. ie, I’d take that guy and put him in any sport vs your best fb player.

ok. in my experience it was the opposite. baseball players played more sports.

CFs and SS are the most athletic baseball players. A lot of those guys could probably be successful in a number of sports. But pitchers are hyper specialists and they make up half the roster.

true. some pitchers are super athletes and some are not at all.
