30% of the NBA is foreign born players. 27% of MLB players are foreign born. There are tons of physical freaks all over the world that have football bodies but have never played advanced football. So instead they become wrestlers, or shot putters, or power forwards, or "strongmen".
The NFL is just doing this to try and spread advanced football around the world.
great point The Myth of Margus Hunt started as a scholar ship to a college for shot putting and then the track and field team was shut down so the football coach convinced him to come play..
Imagine if Margus Hunt had as many years of football training as your typical NFLer
