    See that's ridiculous. I don't think he has any idea about how much work just learning the play book would be.

    But I honestly don't know if he's fast enough. He'll have to drop some weight. Over 100m he got clocked at 11.2. that just isn't fast enough

    Yeah he's going to have to change a bit to be ready for it. Put on a bit more muscle mass, drop weight and honestly, get on the same special vitamins that are allowed in the NFL otherwise he is on the back foot straight away.

    This time next year I think he will be back at the Eels. I can't see any NFL club being bothered to take a risk on a guy who is a project at best at the age of 27.

    Good luck to him tho. I hope he enjoys the journey.

    ofcourse, obviously its something that he needs to do and at least make an attempt at it, nobody will begrudge him if he doesn't make it and comes back.

    It'll just be evidence that its difficult for a 26 year old who has never play one of the most competative sports in the world to make it.

    Nothing lost

    Actually, Raiders 2013 2nd round pick RT Menelik Watson who hails from Manchester learned the game from Madden. Pretty impressive considering the technique mastering that Olinemen need to master for years.
