Ex-Aussie Rugby Player Jordan Mailata Visiting Chargers Friday

Gigantic Austrailian rugby player Jordan Mailata is trying to become the next rugby star to make the transition to American football.

Last weekend, Mailata got the chance to perform in front of all 32 NFL teams as an offensive tackle at a recent pro day in Tampa Bay, Florida where a number of other top combine snubs and international players showed off their talents as well.

According to NFL.com’s Gil Brandt, Mailata has a team visit every day of this week with Chargers hosting the behemoth on Friday.
