Write the name Jordan Mailata down. You’ll want to remember that one if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Yes, he’s a rugby star, but don’t let that concern you. To some, there are some similarities between football and rugby, pads not being one of them.
Whether you’re a fan or not, you have to agree that rugby stars have to be seen as some of the toughest people on Planet Earth. With that being said, it should come as no surprise when Eagles head coach Doug Pederson, who stated he wanted his teams to be tough, decided to bring in Canadian star Adam Zaruba in last year’s off-season to see if he might have the skills to make him a difference maker in the NFL.
