I don't understand American football, but I'm a lifelong football (soccer) fan. In football, there are 'freestylers' who can do a ton of cool looking tricks with a ball, but none of those skills tend to translate well into actual play.
Can someone who understands American football confirm if this is the same case? Or if those skills are actually useful in the real sport.
