I wonder if Neanderthal apemen would make good linemen and linebackers

I've been reading up about Neanderthal Man and how they were short, stocky, and strong and had excellent resistance to the cold. Maybe the Cowboys could find some Neanderthal DNA and pull Jurassic Park, making a bunch of Neanderthal men so that they can play for the team. If these apemen are super strong, it would be way cool if we had, for example, a defensive end named Mugglub Bloompagooomp who could just clobber the other team's O-lineman and get in and make sacks and stuff the run. I'm not sure if our Neanderthal player could learn to speak English or not or if he would just grunt a long with words like "ooga booga, ooh--ooh-hoo." And hopefully he could learn our modern social skills and not run over to the sidelines and dry hump the cheerleaders or something. But if this worked, we could have an all Neanderthal D-line that helps us totally clobber opponents. Think it could work?
