Highlights:
When Jordan Mailata first arrived in the United States, with his NFL journey all ahead of him, he weighed 143 kilograms and had 10 per cent body fat. NFL scouts looked at him and shook their head: too small.

He reportedly runs a 5.12-second 40-yard dash. If Mailata is really anything approaching 346 pounds at this point, that’s an absurdly fast clip. I can’t wait for him to play in the NFL.
The Eagles spent their seventh-round pick on a rugby league player from Australia. They say Jordan Mailata is an offensive tackle, but his position should really just be “destroyer.”
