You need a combo of speed and strength for football. Football is just different from soccer. Yes you get a break in football, but while your playing its full force. Being a lineman is pretty much being a sumo wrestler for 4 periods. Qbs have the entire defense wanting to send him to the hospital. RBs same thing
Try doing that without pads, and maybe a foam helmet. And don't mistake strength for overall athleticism.
