What kind of muscle groups you develop depends on the sport you do, some athletes won’t have need for very large neck muscles while others do. For example football players and other contact sport players benefit from neck muscles

If you mean the trapezius muscle specificly, lots of sports benefit from this like swimming and rowing.
