Well over 90%. These guys are carrying way too much weight for a 200m, they would not have the speed endurance for a 200. Maybe some of the lighter CB/WRs could beat her, but not many.
I don’t doubt that a season of track training more people would be there, but not in their current physiques.
Like 92-95 percent. Most guys aren't in speed-based positions. So we can eliminate essentially all of the linemen and quarterbacks (except for a few) and we're left with the receivers and runningbacks and corners. Of those, I would say about 60 percent could beat Jackson in a 100m race, but would fall ofo dramatically as the distance increases. Jackson probably beats 70 percent of them while she's in track shape and the others are not.
If all dem receivers and cornerbacks trained, however, for the 200m itd be a different story.
The 100 would be more fair. Even at that distance WRs & DBs would be the only ones with a chance to beat her and I would guess she would beat aboard 80-85% of them. At the 200 she would probably beat 95+% of them.
A race between some NFL/NBA players and the fastest women in the world would honestly be an incredible PR stunt for T&F. Watching Shericka smoke some of these dudes would be hilarious and show people how fast track athletes actually are.

easily over 90%-look at DK Metcalf-he can hang in a 100m with his 10.37 but with his size no way he would be near mid-21 seconds for a 200m...as you say some of them could do it after a season of work but with less weight!

But it would terrible for the NFL.
NFL does everything it can to make their athletes appear faster. Seeing them lose to girls would hurt the brand.

NFL receivers and defensive backs may not run 200m in one stretch, but they do run 30m dozens of times with very short rest. Even short sprinters don't do sets of flying 30s on a minute or less interval. Football is more stamina-based than you may expect.
If we're saying no notice. No opportunity to train for 200m, less 2 guys per team, less than 2% would in 200m. Two-hundred meters is a long sprint for NFL guys.
Her 21,whatever woud be able to handle most NFLers just not those serious about the 200m.
Won't count Olympians Tommie Smith, Jmmy Hines, Frank Budd, Ray Norton that was failed experiments.
Add....
Mark Duper NWLa/Dolphins 20.6
Butch Woolfolk Michigan/Giants 20.6
Phil Epps TCU/Packers 20.2ish
Renaldo Nehemiah Maryland/Niners 20.3ish
Pretty sure Olympic 100m cats Sam Graddy and Ron Brown are sub21,00, Same with Curtis Dickey and Willie Gault both 10,1;s. Jerome Mathis a sub 20,5 cat,
Rayeem Mostert currently with the Dolphins a former Big10 200m champ.

For a fleeting moment, I was embarrassed that I didn't think of this first, but then my lesser emotions gave way to being delighted that you did.

There are plenty of non WR/DBs who would smoke her in a 200m. Just ONE example to disprove your assertion, Raheem Mostert (RB) ran 10.15/20.65 - a guy who has run almost a full second faster than her as a high schooler wouldn’t have “a chance” as a full grown man? I can guarantee there have been punters and kickers faster than SJ, Brian Moorman ran 49.77 in the 400h in college which is equivalent to 20.50 in the 200m (IAAF scoring) and 13.81 in the 110h, equivalent to 20.78, so it is INCONCEIVABLE that this NFL PUNTER would have been slower than her over 200m.

Before his injury RGIII could have beaten her too. I remember reading before he gained a ton of muscle Mark Bavaro was a state finalist in the hurdles so he would have had a shot if he stayed in that physical shape.
