Buffalo Bills running back Christian Wade scored a touchdown during the fourth quarter of the team’s opening preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. What makes the play so special was it was the rugby star’s first NFL touch and he took it 65 yards to the house!
Wade awkwardly took the hand off, but after securing the ball, he put his foot in the ground and made a couple guys miss then outran them to the end of the field just like he did on the rugby pitch. As commentator Steve Tasker noted on the broadcast, the vision and athleticism from rugby perfectly translated to this run.
