When my oldest son joined tackle football at age 10 we had to walk through a gauntlet of bullies threatening to hurt him, "you won't make it through the first week!", "we will knock you out!" and on and on. We got inside the building and I asked him, "Are you sure you want to do this?" He did, made the traveling team and turned out to be most high speed bad-ass in the league.
I find it difficult to imagine someone making it into the NFL without being able to handle a bully.
