keep in mind the other players were all 18-20 too, this is a competition that was called the holden cup, you can tell by the yellow ball. every nrl club had an u20 team in the competition, but most (90+%) of the players never made it to the nrl. they abolished the competition because it was to much pressure for the kids to be playing in a professional competition where a lot of them wouldn’t make it to the NRL. a couple even committed suicide sadly and there was a lot of mental health issues in the competition from players not making it and not knowing what to do with their life.
Imagine training to be a defensive lineman your entire life just to be destroyed by a rugby player who picked up a football for the first time 3 years ago
Jordan Mailata is 6'8" 370lbs.. he's probably the biggest and one of the most powerful athletes in the NFL. It's like the hulk falling on your doorstep.. all the Eagles had to do was polish him up and harness his strength!
I always wondered how this rugby player can become one of the better left tackles in the NFL. Watching this answered that quickly for me…the size, speed and strength
There is no reason we can't use this man in short yardage situations. He finally got his chance and looks like our future starting LT, but down by the goaline, he would score everytime. There ain't too many linebackers built to stop that.
I wholeheartedly agree. I want to see him get the ball just to punish the opposing defense. It's clear he loves running people over, too...so all the better - morale boost!
Who the fuck is going to play LT when he is injured and blows his knee out on these short-yardage plays you see him having no reason not to do...oh wait.
@@alittlecreepywhenyou firstly...slim chance he does blow out a knew seeing as how he played rugby without fucking pads and excelled carrying the ball, second to answer your question, first round pick Andre Dillard would be a solid replacement LT...do you even know the roster because it was a really stupid question?
Playbook is one page: Give the ball to Jordan, and get out of the way. The dude is amazing. You don't often see that combination of size and agility. Good luck in the NFL! Can't wait to see him play.
Jordan played his first game Oct. 4 2020 at tackle in a win over the 49ers and played an excellent game. Once in a while they can let him run the ball near the goal line.
@J G Who said anything about soccer? Soccer is a weak sport because of all the crybabies that play. Every single game all game long there is some little baby falling down on the soft grass and crying . That is pathetic. And the fans are so bored out of their minds they sing stupid annoying songs the whole game. It is only popular because all you need is one ball. Professional wrestlers are much better actors than soccer players.
@@paulduong2071lol you guys got JG'd. He's this mentally ill person who has been commenting about how soccer is better than rugby on literally thousands of NRL videos. Not joking. He's been at it for over 5 years
You will love this city. And we already cant wait to see you. All you need to remember is if they have a STAR on their helmet take their head off. Easy peasy.
Big C Dude? Redzone: Jeffrey, Ertz, Goedert, and this 6’8” 350lb beast lined up in the backfield? WTF is a defense supposed to defend? I know he’s supposed to be an O Lineman. But you know Doug is lookin at this dude with trick plays in mind when in the redzone. Toss him the ball on a sweep, and watch DB’s get flattened
Jordan I wish you all the best bro. You will be getting allot of feed back positive and negative from people . Turn the negatives into positives ! You have a gift . I saw your NRL highlights back home on you tube . Never in my life I have seen a machine like you. Well done , this is your time to shine 👍🏼all the best .
It’s insane that he’s that athletic at 6-8 350. He’s never actually played football and I have no idea what position the Eagles have in mind for him, but definitely worth a shot in round 7, could be a nightmare lining up in goal line sets at TE or FB.
He makes more then the club team he was playing rugby for put together..instead of 5000 dollar a season hes making what at least 15 million a season in the nfl and the rugby team also told him he has no future with them. What a way to motivate the young Jordan look at him now he got the last laugh 😂
Crazy thing he's only 24 and on his second NFL contract. At the rate he's improving barring injuries, he could majorly secure the bag 3-4yrs from now.. props to Jordan and all his hard work.
Financially, it was a blessing no one signed him in rugby. And from what I seen on a few videos. It also seems like he loves it in Philly. Glad for him!
This guy looks like he has heart , I could see him tearing it up in the NFL forsure.. I also think Philadelphia is the perfect team for him , I’m sure they’ll utilize this guys size and athleticism perfectly whatever position it may be I think Philly just got away with a huge steal here ...
Omg, I hope he can learn to play OT for the Eagles because I want to watch this dude every week of his career. Welcome to Philly, big man! Can't wait to watch you play!
Howie does it again. Watch this guy become a Pro Bowl tackle in the next 3-4 seasons. I see him being integrated into trick plays as well where he acts as a fullback or tight end. BIG TINGS
Haha boys, thats why i said "watch him" as in wow wouldn't it be cool if...Also the reason why I think he has a shot at being good is because he's completely raw, like a blank canvas with extreme athleticism. He has no learned habits and hasn't suffered from any kind of bad coaching. He's literally learning football from the ground up from the best team in the NFL. I just think he has a CHANCE at being an incredible player that's built to play for Philly :D
Hey Jon those guys tackling him, there big guys, he's just that much bigger, he's used to playing 40min then getting a 10min break and playing another 40min, his size is all muscle no fat, Clearly teach the guy to be able to catch he will be a awesome tight end.
It's really hard for 1st round draft picks to become pro bowlers..........lol............80% of them fail. You're really underestimating how brutal the process is. He will do VERY well just to stay on the Eagles roster for the next 3 years
Beyond excited I questioned him but once I seen these highlights omg he has the ability to be a special weapon for the birds I hope this guy makes it what a story it would be
@@TDMFAN He was overweight for NRL. They told him he had to drop to 120 kgs/265. Hes now playing at 172 kgs lol. Imagine a 6´8 172kg monster in the NRL. I´d like to know how exactly he would get "decked".
@@Romans8-9 would be too slow for NRL. Bigger guys tend to just drop harder, unless their mass is muscle. He's perfect for the NFL, if we wanted to come back to Rugby he could maybe prop in Union.
These highlights NEVER get old lol those are grown men he's tossing around like Godzilla playing with dolls lol it's amazing...So happy the Eagles was willing to teach and train him from scratch...When he's 100% ready the Eagles are going to be even a bigger problem than we are now for the NFC East...GO EAGLES
We knew if he could pick up the mental side of football he’d be just fine because the physicality of football was never going to be a problem! So glad he did pick up the mental aspects! Fly Eagles Fly!
😂 he makes what 15 mil a season compare to 300,000 a year per player in the NRL now its time to recruit all the big man in rugby league especially the one who cant play because the team say they too big for rugby league 😂
Hi All, A lot of comments on here about Jordan having played ‘Rugby’. Rugby implies Rugby Union, which is NOT what he is playing. Those images are of Jordan playing Rugby League, which if you want to shorten it, is referred to as ‘League’. Whilst there are similarities, they are two different Games. Rugby League separated from Rugby Union in 1895. Cheers! (from Australia)
Daaaaamn! I just saw Jordan fall on a fumble for the Eagles against the Titans. He didn’t have a chance to run with it. The announcing team mentioned this. WHY aren’t the Eagles occasionally handing off to this man!!??
Imagine you’re a gifted linebacker, 260 pounds, and Jordan comes up the middle with a full head of steam. First thought must be” how do I stop a guy who weighs a 100 pounds more than me?”
Plenty islanders rolling around the fields like this beast here in the southern hemisphere. I think NFL are gonna be a real threat for the rugby and rugby league industry once their scouts start rocking up in numbers. Good luck to the uce.
The HB, FB and linebacker position is a higher skill ceiling compared to Tackle and there is a better and faster chance to development him in that position. You have to also consider time and money that the Eagles have to put in for players.
@@chinnychin0135 yea he's looking pretty good out there. He's got really nice technique and awareness. But I feel he needs to figure out how get more nastier and meaner, especially at run blocking. I think that will come with more experience.
@ktbDashI think he's doing great in pass blocking but in run blocking he needs to be more aggressive. If you notice, they didnt run to his side too much. And theres a reason for it... He's good at realizing who he needs to block and running at them and locking his arms out. His pure size helps create blocking lanes, but he needs to stop playing patty cake and really put some stank on his touches. He had no pancakes or any aggressive blocks. He was winning the pass blocking matchups with his size and good technique, quickness, and awareness. But there were a alot of times he got pushed back on some bull rushes and a few times he fell from being hit hard. I still think he's a doing great and probably better than 80% of other tackles out there. But if he can figure out a way to get a mean streak in him, that will really set his game to the next level.
The 64 million dollar man now playing the super bowl - after turning down 5k from the Rabbito's as a recruit. Outstanding mammoth of a man with an equally commanding personality.
everyone's talking about giving him the ball but I wanna see this guy on defense. not only is he a monster but rugby players tackle with way better form than football players too, so I'm sure most running backs wouldn't know how to get around him.

he's bigger than everyone else on the pitch it's hilarious to watch. I played high school with a couple guys like that. half my team was football players. I was playing back at 6'2 feet 160 pounds. the forwards on some teams were smaller than me. nothing better than requiring 3 defensive players to tackle one of your guys.
He's getting the ball. He's a Running back. If we had him last year Carson wentz wouldn't have been injured. Inside the 5. Run the ball 4 times with him.
This dude is a beast and Eagles should use him as A Te or even a Rb.. Nice pick up if Eagles use him right.. Damn I would even put this Dude on Def too. Great Pick up Eagles
Just for the record,this isn't professional Rugby League 🏉,this isn't 1st Grade,which is Professional Rugby League 🏉 which is diff from Rugby Union,which is alllll most Americans watch&see over here in the States. This is Reserve Grade Rugby League 🏉 as he could never make it in the top League,1st Grade. Was only offered 2000$,5000$ w/incentives to play w/My Mighty South Sydney Rabbitohs. Until he was told by Madge,he wouldn't make it in Rugby League 🏉 atm. Amazing Achievement to make it to the Super Bowl. Good stuff Matey'🤠👍🐰🐇🏏🏉
The eagles need to pitch this man the ball on the goal line, with Kelce and another lineman pulling out to the side to form a wall, ur telling me them 3 can’t get 3 yards on the goal line?
I came here after Jason Kelce mentioned this on New Heights podcast. Travis said it sounded terrifying to play against him. At one point, I think he is dragging 8 people behind him! Terrifying indeed!
Welcome to philly bro. I know this big unit is suppose to be o-line but I really hope Doug P makes dude the fullback. Can you imagine ajayi running behind this bulldozer? Jay would only have to make the safeties miss to score. Jordan, good luck, I'd buy you a cheesesteak if you tell coach you want to be a fb.

He says himself he couldn't make the top grade. Good on him for where he ended up but payne has was playing a grade for the broncos at this age.
They have the Tush Push now they’re gonna have the Mailata Run their OC needs to be thinking bout this when they reach SB
Hey Eagles ! I nominate JM for our short yardage fullback and 3rd n short 1st down secret weapon lol ! He's unbelievable !
My new favorite player! I wish I was as effective in all I did!
It’s like you run into a wall, but the wall is also running.. into you
His running plays are spectacular, but his defensive tackling is bone crushingly hard.
You ain't lying. Dudes a Savage. You can take a man out of Rugby but you can't take the Rugby out of the man.
He’s like the massive custom player u forget that you made and he destroys you
I'm waiting for his Refrigerator Perry to shine moment. Believe me I'm hoping they use him against dallas in that moment
i still don’t understand why the eagles haven’t pulled a “refrigerator” with this guy yet. it’s like actually mind blowing 😂
You never know.
Philly philly Part 2: The Run Down Under.
everyone's talking about giving him the ball but I wanna see this guy on defense. not only is he a monster but rugby players tackle with way better form than football players too, so I'm sure most running backs wouldn't know how to get around him.
After seeing this no way im makin him OT .. Go Running back or tight end...im willing to wait a couple years for him to learn ..unstoppable at the goaline..dam Beast

If I was a rugby player facing Jordan's team, I would retire before the start of the game, start on my plan B career.
he's bigger than everyone else on the pitch it's hilarious to watch. I played high school with a couple guys like that. half my team was football players. I was playing back at 6'2 feet 160 pounds. the forwards on some teams were smaller than me. nothing better than requiring 3 defensive players to tackle one of your guys.
he's gonna be an awesome fullback!
Wow. Gotta love him.
He's getting the ball. He's a Running back. If we had him last year Carson wentz wouldn't have been injured. Inside the 5. Run the ball 4 times with him.
Jesus. These rugby dudes are huge and can run. If he has good hands he could be a serious threat.
I still don't know why the Eagles have never moved him into a fullback position on goal line or short yardage
This dude is a beast and Eagles should use him as A Te or even a Rb.. Nice pick up if Eagles use him right.. Damn I would even put this Dude on Def too. Great Pick up Eagles
@2:23 put Mailata at kick/punt return this year lol
Mate. This guy should play in the NFL.
Wow! Dude is a filthy monster! What a great story. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just for the record,this isn't professional Rugby League 🏉,this isn't 1st Grade,which is Professional Rugby League 🏉 which is diff from Rugby Union,which is alllll most Americans watch&see over here in the States. This is Reserve Grade Rugby League 🏉 as he could never make it in the top League,1st Grade. Was only offered 2000$,5000$ w/incentives to play w/My Mighty South Sydney Rabbitohs. Until he was told by Madge,he wouldn't make it in Rugby League 🏉 atm. Amazing Achievement to make it to the Super Bowl. Good stuff Matey'🤠👍🐰🐇🏏🏉
The eagles need to pitch this man the ball on the goal line, with Kelce and another lineman pulling out to the side to form a wall, ur telling me them 3 can’t get 3 yards on the goal line?
New heights?
Welcome to Philly my dude
I came here after Jason Kelce mentioned this on New Heights podcast. Travis said it sounded terrifying to play against him. At one point, I think he is dragging 8 people behind him! Terrifying indeed!
Did the guy at 2:15 live?
How this guy made it to the 7th round is mind boggling. What an athlete
Welcome to philly bro. I know this big unit is suppose to be o-line but I really hope Doug P makes dude the fullback. Can you imagine ajayi running behind this bulldozer? Jay would only have to make the safeties miss to score. Jordan, good luck, I'd buy you a cheesesteak if you tell coach you want to be a fb.
Why don't the Eagles start using Mailata like the 1985 Chicago Bears used the Fridge William Perry
Welcome to the Philadelphia Eagles!
What rugby team did he play for?
The Under 20s semi pro suburban feeder teams for the Bulldogs then the Rabbitohs. He got dropped after a season.
Take 10-15kg off and he would have been a very vicious forward, Better than what we just saw. Still can’t believe we let him go.🐰❤️💚
