[QUOTE="Z-Town Pirate, post: 163618"] To make an American Football analogy, Lomu reminds me of Christian Okoye. Okoye was a hulking man who went to the States from Nigeria as a sprinter. They convinced him to try football and he was impossible to bring down. Defenders called him "The Nigerian Nightmare." Like Lomu, he had some injuries and was never the same. Bo Jackson was also a guy who was incredibly fast to be so large. Arguably one of the greatest all-around athletes in American history, he was an all-star in the NFL and Major League Baseball in the same year.
