The padding leads to more violent collisions.
The NFL benefits from a few hundred years of terrible American history where a byproduct was genetic breeding. It's not even close. You could give a rugby coach 2 weeks with his choice of NFL players and they'd make the best rugby team in the world look stupid.

In no way do I want to hate, but:
He is too slow- a 4.5 40yd (I ran better than that in HS)
He catches the ball with his body, not out stretched hands.
He has a language deficit in technical Football language
and everyone in the NFL is fast- and 70% are faster than this guy!!!
Sorry RUGBY, but you're hero is about to get blown up by the NFL!
OH and he runs upright like a target! Jarryd Hayne's 40 yard time was faster than most of the Running Backs at the recent combine: http://www.nfl.com/combine/tracker#day=saturdayYour alleged '40 yard time' was hand-timed BS. Just like all the other highschool '40 yard times'; This is just embarrassing.
Agreed on the 40 time. Most of the RBs train for months to get their 40 time honed for the combine. At their best most hope to get in the 4.5s.
Emmitt Smith probably ran a 4.6 - 4.7 if you'd made him run on a Sunday morning before a game and he's the all time leading rusher.

You could give a rugby coach 2 weeks with his choice of NFL players and they'd make the best rugby team in the world look stupid. Even with six months of training, your mythical superstar team would fall to pieces after the first 20 minutes, American Football players simply aren't exceptional compared to elite athletes from other sports. At least not to the point where they possess some kind of innate advantage.
They'd break the scoreboard in 20 minutes. |

I just watched the dude's highlight reel. He's a baller for sure. But I'm sorry to break it to you, those dudes he is playing against are scrubs to the tenth power in comparison to what he's about to be facing.
I'll actually be rooting for him because it's a cool story.
There are high schools in Texas that would be harder for him to run through than that crap. Is that a real professional league that people pay to go watch? Can you guys get NFL Sunday Ticket in Australia? If so, you should get it. There are much fewer lumbering, slow white dudes with try hard looks on their faces. |

Emmit Smith was a 5'8, 190lb midget but possessed the ability, vision and intangible qualities that made him superior to NFL players much bigger and faster than him.
216, but he had one of the greatest lines in NFL history, a HOF QB, one of the best FBs ever, and a HOF WR on the edge to keep people honest. |

This is why I think he is over rated. Emmit Smith doesn't have anything on Barry Sanders (or Walter Payton and Jim Brown for that matter).
I saw him rush for 150 yards with a separated shoulder vs the NY Giants with a Division title and 1st RND bye on the line. There have been many backs more talented, but so far none have been able to do it as long and as consistently as Emmitt.
