C'mon, you're not really going to use the CFL as a point of reference are you? The guys in NFL are much bigger than most of their CFL counterparts, which means the hits are harder and therefore take more of a toll on the body. Not to mention that running the ball is much more prevalent in the NFL, which is harder on players than passing.
