    He should get cut, and signed by the Texans.

    What a fun story.

    Is he fast? I've been trying to figure it out all preseason. Everything he does looks effortless.

    Elite athletes transcend any particular sport.

    He looks around...I want to say about a 4.6? It's just that he's in the mold of a Tony Dorsett, his running style looks more like a "glide" and not a violent, churning style. Kinda like Arian, when he's healthy.

    He has Jerry Rice speed. Rice ran a 4.7 but always ran faster than the guy chasing after him.

    He has a unique style which obviously has translated to the league better than most thought. I'd definitely have him as a punt returner / running back.

    funny thing is, i've watched very little rugby in my life, but if i didn't know who he was, i'm pretty confident i'd say "that guy runs and moves like a rugby player"

    I don't think so. American football is for Americans. For us, by us.

    I have liked what I've seen so far from him... I think he has a place in the league

    As an Australian watching him week in week out, I don't understand how he won't be a punt returner.

    You can honestly liken it to his position at Fullback in rugby league, except this time without a bunch of players looking to tackle him unhindered, he has blockers creating space for him.

    Even though it's preseason - it's been a ridiculous story in Australia.

    I hope he makes it. Because he's capable of producing something special out of absolutely nothing.

    He stood up as one of New South Wales best players each year during State of Origin (most brutal version of rugby league) - and he was constantly playing out of his natural position.

    His versatility should reward him with a spot on the roster.
