[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

I have a good friend who played semi-professional rugby, and he was an all-around athlete who definitely could have played football (as a running back, safety, or kicker, probably) I do question how well they'll handle big hits, though. Not having pads doesn't mean they can handle bigger hits or hit harder - in fact, it means the opposite - that they're limited in how hard they can hit.. and if it's not something you're used to, it's pretty jarring, and not easy to mentally adapt to or prepare for. I hope he does well. 🤞

[@AdamGordon1]

​@Frosty_tha_Snowman how does it mean they're limited in how hard they can hit?

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

@@AdamGordon1 because if they hit too hard, they'll just immediately break their own bones lol

[@AdamGordon1]

@@Frosty_tha_Snowman no Frosty. No.

[@Lucifer_isthereal_god]

@@AdamGordon1 hits in Rugby are not like hits in the NFL. Having no pads incentivizes hitting flusher and with less brutality. With the pads on in the NFL it taught players to think they can hit with ridiculous brutality. The idea the NFL has gotten softer is so wrong because this is still the case.

[@dratah4615]

As a rugby player that moved to texas and was more or less forced to play football as well...its a completely different game and transitioning between the two is not an easy task. However, the vision that backs have in rugby (especially the back 3) is way way way above anything we've seen in professional football. He will be able to make plays if given the space and opportunity, unfortunately what i learned early on is...creating that space is very hard and requires a lot of effort to learn how to do it. I hope he is able to adapt and perform!

[@wadewellesley411]

and, you’re not a professional, so 🤷‍♂️

[@dratah4615]

@@wadewellesley411 i never claimed to be? My point was after playing both for a number of year (7 years simultaneously). I know how the general transition is, i also have played rugby with hundreds of football players that had to relearn skills that most rugby players consider basic. The same goes for rugby players to football. The skillset is there, but they need to relearn them for football applications. I standby everything i said: he is extremely talented, back 3 rugby players have the best vision in rugby and far above football players who never had to focus on space the same way rees or I would. Creating space in rugby is easier than football (way easier), while he learns to do all of the things required to play football at a high level he will probably have to make up a decade of experience and i hope he is able to transition quickly and efficiently because seeing him cut apart special teams and defenses like the 49ers rugby player years ago did would be awesome. And if you disagree about these things, just remember the greatest return man said the reason he could do what he did was because the moment before he takes off he scans the field hesitates AND THEN makes his move. Rugby back 3 field around 10-20 kicks per game and have to do that every single time regardless of where the ball goes.

[@AdamGordon1]

​@dratah4615 LRZ is top level elite though. He was a British Lion by 20.

[@ericmeli1]

@@AdamGordon1He didn’t say he wasn’t elite, he just expressed that transitioning from Rugby to Football isn’t as simple as it may seem and then wished him the best.

[@dratah4615]

@@AdamGordon1 Again, I never stated anything about Rees or how incredibly dominant he was in rugby. He was a professional rugby player at 18, Ive seen him play live many times. He is a beast. However, hundreds of thousands of experienced and talented football players don't make the NFL each year...They may not be as athletic as Rees is, but they are certainly more experienced and trained than he is in Football. The transitional period for him will be tough because he doesn't have a decade or more of game, practice, and culture experience of football that thousands of american players do. The difference however, is that Rees is young and able to transition, it just MAY take longer to do so and he may never make a 53 man roster. I have no doubt he can make a practice squad or XFL team, but the NFL is tough. I want him to succeed, but I am not going to say he will be a superstar in football just on the basis of his rugby skills. That would be absolutely wrong given the time and effort college players put into the sport just to never see an NFL team.

[@Tvoltage4391]

This is very cool.

[@Blimzio]

As Springbok supporter and someone that has played provincial rugby for Western Province growing up, Rees-Zammit is a world class rugby player and he will dominate in the NFL, just give him a season or 2. They're in for a big surprise when they are going to try and tackle him, this guy is battle hardened from a lifetime of playing rugby without padding. he is used to jumping in the air for the ball with 7 players around him ar full pace, this will be a peace of cake for him.

This is just the type of receiver Mahomes needs. Question is, can he get open? The NFL is a steep learning curve for guys with div 1 experience. Not sure how long it’ll take a rugby player to catch on. But Mahomes needs a stable of 6’3” speedsters that can catch.
