Could you imaginie having Shaq in the redzone going up against one of the Patsies smurf corners?

Harold Carmichael was probably the tallest player to ever play WR in the NFL..he played for the Eagles from 1971-1983 Ht/Wt: 6-8, 225

Ed ''TooTall'' Jones was a 6-10 Defensive end for the Cowboys..they're rare

The NBA pays more. Nuff said.

And it's all guaranteed, unlike the NFL.

BTW - way back in the early 1960s, Willis Reed went to Granbling on a Football scholorship, but the Basketball coach took 1 look at his coordination, and made him a Center for them. He was a T/E in High School, I believe.

I would be interested to see who had a longer career - but I'm willing to bet an NFL WR has a longer career than an NBA center. It get pretty physical in the NBA away from the camara in the paint. Plus the running they do takes its toll on the knees.
