  • NFL Academy quarterback George Reynolds is about to take the next step in his football journey, leading the way for British quarterbacks in college football.
    From first picking up a ball with the Kent Exiles, to making the GB squad and training with Andrew Luck - George has been working towards this moment his entire life.
    And after spending the last two years honing his skills with the NFL Academy in London, he’s officially committed to join the University of Ottawa - and is now looking to become the first English-born QB to play Canadian college football.
    This is his story so far - and it’s only just the beginning.

    I couldn't be happier knowing that football has finally started to spread beyond the United States. It's a great game. Good luck in Ottawa kid; Canadian football is a lot different than American football. Different field dimensions, multiple men in motion, different rules but in essence it's the same beautifully violent game!

    It would be enjoyable to see the American game flourish in the UK. I see the current stage of development is probably about where world football/soccer was in the US at about the 1980s level. In other words, there's some interest. There's some participation. There's some talent. But, it's a bit raw. The complexity and depth of instruction and coaching isn't quite there yet.
    I wish the kid all the luck in the world. An NFL franchise in London would push interest and participation in a huge hurry.

      I can easily see it supplanting rugby and cricket, but certainly not the Premier League.
      It doesn't really have to be the most popular thing in order to be profitable.
      The PL will always be top of the heap in Britain simply because it's deeply woven into the culture. But, if there were a London-based team, do not count out the marketing capacity of the NFL. When it comes to promotion, spectacle, and salesmanship, the NFL are uncontested masters. I have no doubt they could sell a team to the public, fill a 65,000 stadium 8 times a year, and move a ton of merchandise.
      If the MLS can outpace the NBA, NHL, and MLB in per game attendance (they do), the NFL can work in London.
      The challenge would be to evaluate whether a London team would be a relocated franchise or an expansion team. Jacksonville is the obvious candidate. Even the team's nickname would work for England. Keep the name and color scheme, but change the logo to reflect a tie to British Jaguar automobiles. I can see marketing geniuses selling that angle.

      In terms of the number of clubs, it's one of the largest, if not *the* largest leagues in the world. It is also one of the best attended.
      MLS's next step ought to be the improvement of overall quality. Key elements of this process would be more comprehensive club youth academies, making the league more financially attractive to elite foreign players in their prime (as opposed to big names who want to end their careers in the name of marketing), and development of lower tier leagues.
      All these steps are underway to a greater or lesser extent. I'd like to see the adoption of a promotion/relegation system. But, I see that as unlikely. The current league business model doesn't support P/R, and the typical American sports fan doesn't really understand it.

    I'm curious to know if he was a part of the Kent Exiles team that played against Edinburgh Wolves (the team I played for) in the semi's a few years back before both us and them went into the British Premiership, them to the south and us to the north. But regardless best of luck from another Britballer.

    Yo, I'm pretty sure Neil is his dad or at least family member. Outside of same last name they do look alike. Best of luck to the kid, that is a huge step to get an offer from a North American football program.
