‘Can LeBron be an NFL star?’ is a tricky question considering the myriad of aspects that go into a person becoming a powerful football player. Even though he has a tall frame, his athletic body may not help him. Because football players are raw and bulky rather than lean and muscular. Many factors affect the gameplay of an NFL athlete.
For instance, basketball is played in an air-conditioned environment. However, players suffer through harsh weather while playing football. Many other reasons support the idea that LeBron James may not advance as further as an NFL player as he did as an NBA player.
