Players are runnning at incredible speed, and jumping at incredible hight, and crashing into each other at incredible impact.
It's so excited. Please check this Video.

Is it correct? No,Each player has to be smart.
Understand strategy,reading situation,and predicting next play. All of these are required.
3.Passion
NFL is so interesting and exciting. I think the reason is not only the above reasons but also Passion.
There is only 16 games a season.So, Every game is important in reaching the postseason. So, each player try hard to win to reach Super Bowl.
Every year, I decide to take a day off on the Super Bowl Day. I cannot wait the day!
