Would be a cool story
He was timed running 24mph last year in a game. Hill's fastest last year was 22mph.

Anthony Schwartz who was drafted by the poo stains was also fast, very fast. Veach and Andy must see more to this kid's game to make such a move.

Even without pad , that I think would be faster than any soccer play speed recorded this year .

Of course he is going to be naive in learning the playcalls and running crisp routes but Andy Reid is smart enough to know that you don’t bring someone in because they can do things you don’t normally see and then try to force them to conform to all the norms of a player in their position. Trying to do that would be like acknowledging that Mahomes is the all time greatest scramble drill improviser in the game yet deciding that because Quarterbacks are traditionally pocket passers you are going to chain him to the pocket.


If he bulks up, he's going to get slower, not faster.

And 4.4 isn't slow. More than fast enough to play in the NFL.


He's another athletic guy. Andy really likes athletes, almost more than he likes football players, or so it seems at times.

He doesn't take up a roster spot and no cap space. Why not have a fun story. Probably camp fodder but who cares.

I'm not so sure he really needs to bulk up any.

Yep. I hope he does some cool stuff for us. Just not expecting a whole lot of snaps for him outside of STs in year 1.

I don't think he does either. He's already 200 lbs., right? He looks buff enough to me anyway.

My only point being, this isnt the first time a rugby to football conversion has been attempted. I live here in NorCal and remember the hype.

Just saying every year there are hundreds of phenomenal athletes in the US that have played football their entire lives and cant transition to the NFL. Its a long shot for a guy who has never played to have success here.

Having said that, with the new KO rules might enter new strategies and Andy is second to none in placing people in places to have success so Im not counting anybody out lol.

They’re treating this guy like he’s a first rd pick. He’s probably makes the roster but won’t play much aside from ST’s
