The crazies are coming out of the woodwork. This thread is actually pretty revealing.

Could they? Yes
Should they? No
Would they? No
I understand they used to do this decades ago, but in today's game, they wouldn't stand a chance. To all the mouth breathers that think bama could win or hang with the worst NFL team, they would lose by 50+ by half time

The thread is about an All American team.
Only in LSU's mind does this mean Bama, apparently.
Let me guess, though, you think Jamal Adams didn't deserve to be an NFL starter, because, as you idiots have said, there's no way a rookie can be better than a veteran. Especially a team of 1st and 2nd round picks playing against the scrubs that populated the Cleveland roster.

College all star team gets whipped against worst NFL team.
What about college all star team vs only non-starters from NFL teams or if you could somehow pick the worst NFL players from each roster to create a team. I could see that possibly being a game

in the 60s and 70s the college all stars started getting their arse kicked every year.
Which coincided with NFL teams not allowing their top draft picks to play for the college team, after one suffered a career ending injury.

what's incredible is that I know deep down you truly believe this.
The depth advantage for the college team would be pretty significant. You'd have NFL first round talents as backups at every position.

22 players X 2 = 44
32 1st round picks
Math alone says impossible let alone if 3 or 4 are wide receivers or like that one year 4 QBs in first round

There was a college all star game vs the reigning NFL champs for years.
LINK
Known as the Chicago Charities College All-Star Game, the contest was played every year from 1934 until 1976, with the exception of 1974, when it was canceled by an NFL players’ strike. Soldier Field hosted every game except the 1943 and 1944 games, which were played at Northwestern’s Dyche Stadium.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the best college players didn’t always choose to play pro football, and pro players weren’t necessarily better than college players. The first five College All-Star Games featured two wins by the college players, two ties, and only one win by the NFL team. (That one, in 1935, was the only year when the NFL’s runner-up, rather than the reigning champion, represented pro football.)
By the 1960s and 1970s, however, pro football had become America’s most popular sport, and the money that came with playing pro ball meant all the best college players wanted to turn pro, and many of the top pro players were training year round, rather than finding offseason jobs. As a result, in the last couple decades of the College All-Star Game, the pro teams were beating the college teams consistently, and often easily: The pro teams won 16 of the last 17 College All-Star Games, and few of those games were even close.
The last game the College All-Stars won came in 1963, when the Green Bay Packers fell to the College All-Stars 20-17. Packers coach Vince Lombardi felt humiliated.

We go over this every year and the answer is no... You can assemble a team of the worst players in the NFL at each position together and they would skull drag Alabama or any assembled college roster of the best players 10 out of 10 times.

No way, man. ReauxlTide222 says a hypothetical cherry picked college DL proves something.

Maybe but I would wager that those players making a 53 man roster were probably college all stars themselves at some point.

Tua looks great.
Are you trying to say that after 14-15 college game he’s ready to dismantle NFL DBs while simultaneously losing the OL advantage he enjoys.
18 year old Myles Garrett was really good. He still would have been destroyed by an 8 yr OT NFL veteran

This is the team that would have faced those shitty Browns. Mind you, SIX of those Browns lost their jobs to rookies, and only one of those rookies was good enough to be on the list.
Not only could the all stars win. They WOULD win. Frequently and easily. It's foolish to think otherwise.
They are better than those Browns at EVERY SINGLE POSITION.
