League team with NFL players

All this is a mute point.
It's like trying to decide what rugby union players could play league.
Neither the NFL players nor Union players could handle the one on one defence that league requires.
Before anyone starts to jump up and down, let’s remember that league players are required to sprint up 10m then back pedal-reset then sprint up 10m for 5 straight times, turn around and prepare to attack.
Anyone who has played the game knows what is required to do this.
NFL players would have the mental toughness to play the game I'm sure, but one on one defence in open space is not the NFL’s strong suit.
Nice concept though!

Jones ain't fast and is short and Smith is very short as well. Your centres were as well so this would basically rule out the highball.

For the high ball, Adrian Peterson and DeAngelo can swap spots from time to time.. my centres generally won't need high balls, they are guns. Steve Smith would be a brilliant finisher, you don't have to be tall to play on the wing. In fact I don't think Randy Moss, as good a WR as he is would be be a good league player. I think he'd struggle with general play on the wing and have no chance in pretty much any other spot. Of course he'd be good in the air, but turning and chasing, working off the line.. just not him.

Yeah but being burnt by Moss isn't indicative of the DB's lack of ability, but more so indicative of Moss's freakish ability.

And we all know Nmamdi Asomugha is the most under-rated DB around. We should let him go play for the Patriots or Colts so he could stand a decent chance at winning something. :(
