No, because we have an enormous amount of data that shows this isn't the case for many positions.
Anders was a linebacker.
You can use something as simple as the 40 yard dash to predict your likelihood to be drafted. The speediest guys have a 100% placement rate. Now consider a multi multi billion dollar industry completely predicated on objective success in the game, with decades of development and enormous scouting budgets, has still determined that the fastest guys literally all get drafted.
I suppose you could cast aspersions on everyone in the scouting and coaching system as dummies, but you are just a jabroni on the internet.
All elite athletes have a higher probability of making it into the NFL, although not all are skilled enough or cut out to be there.
Anders appears to be a skilled football player who reached his potential in college football. Something in the course of 1.5% of college players get drafted.
He was not among those elite. Now he's in MMA, where the starting pay is 15k/15k.
That is why we don't get elite athletes for guys the size of 185/205/265.
Both of Jon Jones brothers are multi-year starting players in the NFL. They are just guys though, not stars of the league.
When one guy of that athletic caliber trips and falls into MMA, we literally call him the greatest of all time. Other professional sports are quite entirely populated with Jon Jones'.
