Regarded as an NRL prospect after his stints at the Bulldogs and Rabbitohs, Jordan Mailata won in the NFL.
Jordan Mailata realized his dream that began in 2018 of winning the NFL over the Philadelphia Eagles. The one who just signed a 4-year contract for $ 64 million no longer considers himself a former rugby player and brought this up at a press conference. Indeed, the player does not want us to bring him back to his former rugby career, he who since 2018 has been working to integrate the highest level in American football. A question of respect for Mailata who no longer likes that we think of the old hope who gave up everything without thinking too much. Jordan Mailata played 15 NFL games in 2020, so 10 as a start. He earned his place in the Eagles’ offensive line for the new season that begins and was rewarded with the signing of his contract. He has definitely put an end to the XIII and the NRL, unlike others who have tried with less success like Jarryd Hayne or Valentine Holmes.
Absolutely stoked for @jordan_mailata on sealing a huge #NFL contract extension with the Eagles – sensational story about capitalizing on your natural talents, taking a chance, working damn hard, never giving up, staying humble & being deservedly rewarded! https://t.co/c6SzV7c584
