Louis Rees-Zammit and Travis Clayton are the latest players to have quit rugby to pursue a career in the NFL."It recalibrates what you think is hard," says Christian Scotland-Williamson, one of those who missed out.
He played in two more pre-season games but spent the next three seasons on the Bills' practice squad. That sensational start was as good as it got.Christian Scotland-Williamson was playing for Worcester when he produced a crunching tackle that went viral. He joined the Atlanta Falcons and played in pre-season as a tight end, but after three seasons on their practice squad, Gray was released and briefly returned to rugby with Bath.
It proved to be the one and only NFL pass he received as Smith was released in 2013 and returned to rugby.Jordan Mailata has become somewhat of a celebrity, appearing on The Masked Singer and the Philadelphia Eagles' Christmas albums "His agility and speed for a person of his size, who hadn’t grown into his full frame yet, it was so impressive," says Scotland-Williamson, who was on the IPP programme with Mailata in 2018.
