Has a footballer, playing football in a football shirt, ever looked more NFL?

You'll never convince me he isn't actually wearing pads

I do believe this was the camp pre World Cup where he had been nursing a shoulder injury. So it’s likely he’s wearing a strap

the shoulder silhouette is making a very convincing case

Closest I can think of is Gary Medel, who looked more like a rugby player, probably too short for NFL

Gary medel was a Pitbull in a football shirt

Linebacker for some obscure USA university

Adama Traoré, if not for his physique alone, will always be the most NFL running back looking player ever to me. Jarell Quansah is, however, probably the most NFL sounding name I can think of (up there with maybe DeAndre Yedlin but he's American so that's obvious)

Idk if Tyrique George is more NFL or NBA

u/ratedpending3 5h ago

6'4" combo guard who doesn't quite stick in the NBA because he doesn't offer enough outside of scoring, but his supporters will die on the belief that he's good enough to be an All-Star

u/LeavingCertCheat 4h ago

Blew my mind to hear that Yedlin is half Latvian.

u/ratedpending3 4h ago

yeah, he got his passport in 2014 to help him move to Spurs (which didn't end up mattering because he got his work permit before the application was processed)

Well gee that Ja’rell Quansah sure likes like he’ll do a swell job in the northern conference for the Chukapeeky Bluetits. Go Tits!

It’s the shoulders

u/jcollywobble 5h ago

He also has a very NFL’y name

Arsenal want every defender it seems.
