First touch of the ball in American football:

Absolutely class. I hope he does well over there.

The boy done good.
Must be strange for him sprinting with all that kit on.

Although it's worth bearing in mind this is a long way from playing for the actual team.

A few NFL writers saying today that the reality is his best hope is making the practice squad, but this can't hurt.

Impressive vision to see the cutback.

Good to see him running under the post. It looked to me like he realised too late he was meant to do a more American Football celebration. Something to work on

I wish hed dived over the line !...looks for moment he wasn't sure what to do and ending up dragging some steps .. great piece of running even  though weve seen him do it so many times .

First touch .. brilliant .

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I think he's going to make it in NFL. As complex as the tactical side of the game is and as "late" as he's come to the sport, he has freakish physical attributes and he has more than a few brain cells so no reason to doubt him...

It's a promising start, but he has a long way to go. He was playing in pre-season against what would have been a third or fourth string defence. He did brilliantly to see the space and exploit it, but now he's got to prove that he can do it repeatedly against a much stronger defensive setup.

For what it's worth, I think if he is given a chance and sticks at it he will make it, but I would expect it to take a couple of seasons - or a stroke of luck.
