How many passes can you catch with a guy who runs a 4.3 40 and has a 44" vertical leap draped all over you? Or how many shots are you going to get past a 7 footer who is right in front of you?
But, you're right about the pay scale being out of whack in relation to what pro athletes, or actors for that matter, are paid to what teachers, police, firemen, etc make for contributing to society.
