The Philadelphia Eagles have found themselves a renaissance man with their 2018 seventh-round pick, Jordan Mailata. The former Australian rugby star was discovered by NFL scouts not even a year ago when they found a six-foot-eight powerful beast running opponents over on YouTube. Considering that Mailata has never played a down of football in his life, it was unclear whether he would be drafted or not, despite the interest by NFL clubs.
The Eagles were one of a few teams that were interested, but they clearly thought highly of him to spend their final pick of the draft on Mailata.
