Re: LRZ
Indeed. Wade was similarly fast and elusive, but only managed 3 seasons in the practice squad. He managed 3 seasons on the practice roster at the end of his career though and made better money than he would have done in rugby. He went to the NFL in his mid-20s... Yeah i'm misremembering. He didn't ...

Re: LRZ
What position is he going to be, don't think he is elusive enough to be a running back, wide receiver? He's too tall to be a running back without bulking massively. He won't have the skill set for WR. Up against guys who are just as fast/faster and have been playing for 15 years. Kick return maybe ...

Re: LRZ
Players are fundamentally underpaid for the risks they are assuming, even the relative big names. Pond ain't big enough. It's $300k a season to sit in the practice squad of an NFL side, or $200k a season to risk multiple concussions grinding out a 6-3 win on a Friday night at Sale I know which one ...

They did this is the county championship and the teams all just produced runways. AFAIK they scrapped it.
