A hilarious new survey of male NFL fans over 40 reveals that some of them actually believe they could play for teams like the Dallas Cowboys , Kansas City Chiefs , and Buffalo Bills right now.
Professional athletics is very tough on the body. Certain sports like football, hockey, MMA, and rugby are pretty violent and put a beating on a competitor. That is why being in tip-top shape is very important to actually reach the heights of a sport and survive. Along with, of course, talent that separates an athlete from normal people.

However, there is a shocking amount of regular Joes watching games each week who believe they could actually get up off their La-Z-Boy, suit up in an NFL uniform, and actually compete in an NFL game today.
In a great survey from TENA , they spoke with male sports fans over 40 years old from around the country. Many of them have played organized football at some point in their lives. And shockingly, 35% of those who responded "believe they could absolutely go pro." One can only wonder why they never did if it was such a sure thing.

Furthermore, 41% believe they can catch a fireball from an NFL QB. Hilariously, 24% believe they could break a tackle in an NFL game, 33% feel they can make a tackle, and 23% are very confident about being able to nail a field goal.

Yet, it doesn't end there. There are some very confident 40-something football fans, specifically in California. In San Jose, 75% of washed-up football players feel they could have gone pro, and 67% are sure they can catch passes from an NFL QB.
In San Diego, 78% think they will have no problem with passes from pro quarterbacks, and 64% said they could no doubt make a tackle in the NFL.
Obviously, these men have never seen episodes of the popular 2000s show Pros vs. Joes. Where everyday one one-time athletes were absolutely embarrassed by active and retired former athletes.
