And basically this makes sense to me.
I think the opposite. As Winfield said, being good in multiple sports gave him leverage. It did so for Elway. It did so for Kyler Murray.

And I think it prevents injuries playing different sports. Because you ask your body to do different things. Using your body to repetitively do the same tasks causes problems down the road.
