He could probably play RB, OL, or DB and be our best player in those positions

With Nick Roach on IR he'd probably start at MLB

He'd automatically be their second-best QB at minimum:

1. Anderson
2. Hayne
3. Cum

He is 6'2", 220 lbs. A little small for linebacker.

Unfortunately for him in the nfl you have to be crazy fast and athletic, or crazy fat. He is tall and strong, not huge and freaky, thats nfl grey area

The weight is a little light. 6'2 is about the same as Patrick Willis or Keuchly. If he could ad 10-15 lbs of muscle, he'd have the size. The speed is a different matter. Bat shit crazy is a quality that you need to be a linebacker though and Rugby players have spades of that.

The one thing that rugby players have all over football players is cardio conditioning. But, if a rugby-ite turned to football he'd begin to lose that advantage.

little chance he makes it. He has to change everything about what he does right down to the way he runs. You get killed in the NFL running upright like that
