Think about it this way, Tyreek hill is actually in motion for maybe 40 seconds of a 7 or 8 play drive that takes up 4-5 minutes of actual game time.
Christiano Ronaldo is in motion probably 3.5 minutes in the same 4-5 minutes, playing both offense and defense.
No timeouts
No substitutions when you're "tired"
No standing breaks between plays

Bullshit. You think Hill runs a route and then just stands still in place until the next play? He has to jog back to the huddle, jog to where he lines up for the next play, and sometimes go in motion before the snap.
Watch any soccer player and tell me they don’t take “breaks”. When the ball is on the opposite side of the pitch they will walk slowly or literally stand motionless for stretches of time.
