Most of them are bulked up and overweight.
Your talking through your arse here dml. I’ve played both sports (& egg) and they’re not comparable, fitness wise the only sport on a par is Rugby League. The impacts are constant and from angles you’re not expecting. I loved playing the sport but I had more injuries in 2 years than playing football for 25 years
