In the Army we played some serious organized tackle football with a lot of guys who played in high school and college.
Unfortunately, I never had the grades to play football, but I wish I did. I had the speed and coordination to play, at least at high school level.
When I was in college they sent a group of us down to scrimmage against the base team at Ft Benning. You can imagine how many good athletes they had among 20K soldiers. A few of their guys, including their starting QB had played at the Academy. And many of them were grown men in their mid twenties when we were mostly underclassmen at 18-20. They beat our ass.
