There have been numerous rugby and rugby league players that have tried out in the NFL. None of them really got that far. They couldn’t pick up the game or the plays quick enough. They didn’t grow up with it in their veins, don’t have the instinct.
The only rugby/league/football players to ever do any good were on special teams or punters. With the exception of Jordan Mailata, who is currently playing OT. He could have made in in the NRL in Australia, might have even gotten himself a $600k/year contract, but I’ll leave you with this..
On 31 August 2021, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni named Mailata the starter at left tackle for the 2021 NFL season. On 11 September 2021, Mailata signed a four-year, USD$64 million contract including $40.85 million guaranteed.
If any of the mopes you are referring to thought they could make it in the NFL, they’d be there trying out already. Money talks…
