[QUOTE="ranger, post: 466990, member: 40555"] Exactly, but i think that the guys people emphasise are the wrong type to go after. The ridiculous athletes people herald generally don't have the spacial awareness to really excel. I always thought Micheal Vick was more suited to rugby than football, he can see openings in a defense very well, he can scramble with the best of them and has all the fabled NFL agility, but he doesn't have the arm accuracy to be a top flight QB. He wouldn't need arm accuracy to play rugby, with his footwork in avoiding the rush i would try and play him as an oversized halfback. Tebow is another that would be a great rugby player, strikes me a Stephen Donald type of dude. Would also be keen to try out Vernon Gholston at 6, looks like another guy that is more suited to rugby [/QUOTE]
