NFL players are in the age group of very low risk of complications from the virus.
Get it, then 2 weeks of quarantine and you are immune due to antibody production.
Simple.
The issue is not the players
getting it, it's the players
spreading it.
By the time an unvaccinated player has tested positive, he has already been walking around spreading the virus through asympomatic transmission.
He may not be harmed but then he goes to the store, the grocery store clerk gets it from him and her kid picks it up from her then spreads it to someone vulnerable. Etc. Which is how pandemics work. They are never about just the lone individual. Viruses do not give a single damm about American narcissistic ideas of free choice. Just as cigarette smoke does not care whether or not you mean to affect others by smoking indoors in a closed environment full of people (which is why we have no smoking laws, your individual "choice" in the matter being irrelevant--there are areas of life where public safety transcends the typical 2-year old's idea of being "free".)
And btw more people suffer permanent bad effects from covid than are killed by it. Talking about heart issues, and/or lung issues, and/or cognitive issues, and/or strokes and/or blood clots. And more types of people are vulnerable to it than just the elderly.
You get vaccinated not just for yourself, you do it to help lower the percentage of the population that can spread the virus.
If a player does not understand any of that then they are poorly informed and making bad choices--since it's all choices based on being poorly informed on an issue like this most likely leads to making bad choices.
