In a league of nikkas, why you so eager to bring up that cac?:mjpls:
What the fukk?

A freak athlete is a freak athlete.

The hell is wrong with you?

That's one of the biggest most agile dudes in the NFL.

He is faster than Gronk.
Wonder how he'd run with equipment on though.

:snoop:

This could be flipped. How fast would Gronk (or any NFL guy) run if he had to run 40 mins nonstop, take a 5 min halftime, and then run 40 mins nonstop again. Like I said, you're going too far out your way to discredit the man.

Did I even say the man's name? What did I say beyond "that's not a 4.3"

:wtf:


How much South African dollars is dude paying you? :heh:

So when you keep saying "he" you're not referring to Lomu?:beli:
South African dollars? I bet that was funny in your head :steviej:Lomu is Tongan and played for New Zealand
:laugh: this guy....
I can tell you're the argumentative type so, so we'll just agree to disagree:yawn:

idk footwork in american football seems inferior to me to basketball, which itself now seems very very inferior to me to soccer. to me, i think ive realized that the basketball and american football athletes are only superior in power and explosive speed and even that almost works against them in a sense as athletes overall because they are so power oriented that they start to lack as much body awareness and control as a result. lebron is obviously more physically powerful than messi but when you compare the actual movements each has to preform with their bodies for their sport... lebron starts to look almost like a retard compared to messi. the same is true for any american football athlete, which are generally much more athletic than basketball players, even the most athletic you can possibly think of, will seem just so simple and basic compared to a player like messi. to execute like messi.... the degree of difficulty is just way way higher than anything in those sports. its like watching a living musical instrument.

Having played both sports, dude definitely has NFL speed. Not everybody in the NFL can fly like Randy Moss. The average NFL RB runs in the mid-4.5 range, and Lomu is at least running that. Add the fact that he's the size of a tight end/defensive end and :lawd:

I thought NFL nikkas were the GOAT athletes too until I hit the rugby circuit. These guys got size and speed and can run nonstop :yeshrug:




Breh I been watching rugby for 20 years I know my shyt. Lomu was a beast but he wouldn't do much in the nfl just because it's a complete different sport, just like ray Lewis or moss wouldn't do shyt in rugby!

Lomu was a phenom tho, best winger to grace the field. Unstoppable even if he didnt win a world cup!

Ray Lewis I think would do well in Rugby.

He used to be a great RB before staying at LB. Dude could run well as he is a tackler.
Being an all state wrestler with athleticism...I think he would beast at Rugby.

Possibly but it's hard to determine because of the complexity of both sports, less game planning in rugby and they play off instincts non stop, where as in nfl there is thinking involved on every play and he isn't on the field the whole time but it's a good debate!

Yeah man.

I was in Baltimore the year they won the ship when they played the Jets. I saw Ray Lewis get shook by Curtis Martin in the backfield, recover his balance and run him down for a two yard gain. I still don't know how he did it.
