Iamcanadian Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 What are his chances considering how weak this OT class is??? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000923837/article/massive-rugby-player-jordan-mailata-impresses-scouts-at-pro-day You want to talk about a monster athletic freak, welcome to Jordan Mailata's world!!! Would you like your team to take a 6th or 7th round shot??? Worst case scenario IMO, he is an absolute monster as a run blocker and getting around him with that athletic ability, could turn out to be quite difficult!!!

Darbsk Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This seems a strange position to me for a rugby player to transition to as rugby has no (legal) blocking, I'd have expected him to be a DT or DE as the skill sets translate a little better there with the tackling, grappling and hitting. I suppose he's worth a 7th round pick as much as most of the guys there............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Have these players ever transitioned well? Every few drafts it seems like there is a freak rugby star or Olympic thrower or something that’s looking to transition to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal was a good guard for a good while before injuries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Neal Mailata might have success in the same place working under Scar. He's a wizard.
