LRZ was the move that made them Groove - all over the internet before the NFL even made an official announcement. Fact is, those players are not the same level of interest, or had reached LRZ's professional heights before the jump.

      Problem is, these days, kickers make so many touchbacks that KR is no longer such a big deal.
      PR still useful but punters are better now too so it's harder to return them nowadays.
      Most returners need a position on the offense or defense they can play as a backup to earn a roster spot.

    Wow! Talk about dedication in the NFL. Rugby is big business over here in Europe but we don't invest so much time, energy and 'off course' money into rugby as American Football. Now I realise why America is the biggest economy in the world. Football is epic and they can spend money on it. Only the best. Makes me jealous to see what would happen if I became a foreign player? Would I have what it takes? You guys have the best of everything 'man'.

    The Rugby player from Wales might actually be better suited to the NFL.

Perhaps he will be much better suited to the NFL were he can just focus on offence. He has all the skills!

    It’s going to come down to what the sport prefers, unintelligent $$$ focussed athletes or actual talented sportsmen who want to play the game, who love the game and would be honoured to take to the field. The sport has shown in recent years that there is serious polarisation going on in USA. You can have the utter quality and brilliance of Saquon or Christian McCaffrey but then it can drop to some alarming levels of players who are elite enough to play but who are only interested in $$$. I’d rather watch players who want to play the sport I love and if that means that some of them come from Wales or Austria, then so be it. I miss Barry Sanders, I miss Darrell Green. I miss that level of honesty and integrity in the game.
