Check this guy out

He looks great against all those 165 pound white guys. DE maybe, not an offensive skill guy.

Most rugby players usually weight about 200 or so. So imagine corners and safeties going against him. Course it depends on what position he plays. Could play DE or TE.

We found our #3 RB.

Reminds me of public HS basketball games where there's some 7-ft kid who's clearly going to play college ball and all the other players are 5'10" to 6'1" guys with 18" verticals.

Well, I think we do need DE help, and he could be very good for us there. He'd at least be a great ball swatter, and he'd naturally be good at carrying the ball should he intercept passes.

Getting punched in the mouth by Tyron Smith would be a rude awakening for a guy acustomed to playing against CB sized players.

So is playing with no pads.

I've seen the video. It is impressive that he is that athletic.

Having said that it's a completely different world when Tyron Smith gets his hands on you. It is unlikely that the rugby player has ever experienced anything remotely close to Tyron.

I remember the old TB show American Gladiators. They had these super roided up dudes that normal people had to compete against. It was all fun and games until they had a backup DLineman for the Chargers come on the show. They had 2 Gladiators against just him and he beat their arses like redheaded step-children. This was just a no-name NFL player. Those guys probably would have died if they had invited Larry Allen onto that show...

We can put rugby players vs football players discussion with comments on football players are cowards hiding behind pads and helmets compare to rugby players that don't wear them.

Add that to other dreams of pipsqueaks...

You were 5-8, 140 but could beat up big guys because you took karate...

Your Dad could beat up the Dad of the bully at your school.

Go Rugby punch Tyron and see what happens.

Heck go rugby punch Larry Allen in his rocking chair...
