Cooper DeJean believes that numerous NFL players possess the skills to transition to the NBA, suggesting that as many as 30 of them could excel in basketball at a professional level.
He cited examples such as Puka playing in the celebrity All-Star game and Micah Parsons as evidence of NFL talent capable of thriving in basketball.
“There are a lot of other NFL players; I think you can find 30 to play in the NBA today, right now. You saw Puka playing in the celebrity All-Star game, Micah Parsons,” DeJean said.
