Mate if those fat a** nfl player played leauge they would need air tanks on the sideline. The difference between league and nfl is that nfl has defence and offense teams....league just has one team and you have to be fit to do both jobs and if youre a fats a** who weighs over 300 pounds then you will probably have a heart attack.
The offensive linemen couldn't play rugby for sure, but its not all that tiring... there is alot of points where rugby slows down alot... 8 on 8 though would be another story... There are guys in football though like linebackers/tight ends/ defensive ends who are 250+ pounds and have more agility and speed than 95% of the pro rugby players out there.
