Strength, speed, muscle stamina, cardio endurance- all those things add up to a good athlete.
The Rugby thing was a knee-jerk response to the fact that many football players consider their sport to be the pinnacle of physical demand. Not meant to be a shot at football, really.

Its all in good faith. Ya thats why i didnt mention the linemen lol if your born big you can just be a linemen. But you can't just run a 4.3 40 out of the womb, have amazing vision, and good hands. Its gotta be worked on and perfected. Much like drills with soccer. Im sure kids dont come out doing over head kicks, and jumping 3 feet in the air to do headers. I don't consider football to be the pinnacle of physical demand, i think rugby players are crazy as hell. everytime i think of rugby i think of monty phython lol
