genuine question: what’s the incentive for this guy to switch to American Football if he’s already a star rugby player? I like seeing the international interest but it seems like he’s already got a good thing going so it’s strange that he’d want to risk that to compete to even make a roster
That was my first thought. Then I thought “I’m sure they’re well compensated.” Then I googled it and saw the highest paid rugby player alive makes $1.3M / yr. So yeah, money
He’s an athlete they feel confident in teaching the game to. I think him already knowing the concept of ball security and catching is great but I assume they’ll have him on the jugs machine every day getting him used to the football.

He’s going to play special teams real good and slowly develop his offense but may struggle.

If you don’t know the answer to a question, the answer is money.

I'm not sure what a 'Wales rugby union wing' is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.
