    Not a chance in hell. I don't think some people realize how talented even the worst player in the NFL is. I got a glimpse into the world when I was covering the NBA, and even the worst player in the NBA is ten times better than the guy down at the local gym playing pickup games. People don't realize how big and fast NFL players are. I wish they would play Bama and just crush them.

    yeah wouldnt happen. Even the best College teams half 30-40% of guys who wont ever sniff being on practice squads in the NFL, let alone an actual NFL squad of all guys worthy of making the team

    Add to that college aged guys are still coming into their own physically, so even the guys who will play at the next level aren't what they're going to be... especially after a few years devoted round the clock to football.

    Another way to look at it is the worst NFL team is made of college all-stars.

    Tim Tebow could beat 'Bama and an NFL team at the same time on different fields.
